I can't believe that it has been 2 months!

So it is Christmas Eve and all is somewhat well in the world. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have had a really tough semester and it finally ended on the 11th of December. Then in a long conversation with my grandparents I decided to move back to Champaign so that I could be of help.

My grandfather spent several different stents in the hospital. This last one was the one that did the trick. He had a bad gall bladder. We got it out and he is on the mend and home. He is felling so much better however, weak and not wanting to get around right now. I know that with time he will be back to his former self. We did get really good news, his IgG (the antibody that measures the cancer level) was down to 1900 and 1725 is the high end of normal. We may get this into remission yet.

So right now I am on my last 4 week Christmas break. I start my student teaching on the 12th of January right here in Champaign-Urbana. I am really looking forward to all that I will be able to do and the count down really begins to the day of graduation.

I hope that all who read this have a great and safe holiday season. I know I am counting all my blessings and will enjoy the time I have to spend with my family. You never know what the future holds.
