Update 1

a mini update on the saga of the tummy:  I do not have the H pylori bacteria which can cause ulcers so they won't be giving me antibiotics.  I could still have an ulcer, just not one caused by bacteria.  So, I keep taking Prilosec and if it doesn't get better I see the doc again.  It is subsiding somewhat, not so intense but it lets me know it's there.

ok...all the news fit to print.  Off to see the little munchkin...hopefully she's awake for awhile today  slb
