Merry Christmas 2008, Doing well, Facebook

Merry Christmas! Denise is looking healthy, the kids are cute, and Denise says I look nice in a suit (I avoid suits as much as possible). Her progress since our 2005 Christmas picture is amazing. She even joined a gym recently to try to work on her balance, strength and energy with regular workout classes.

Since our last post, our medical concerns have been few. Denise has hearing aides enjoys being able to hear again (she opted for tiny hearing aides that fit completely in her ear). The most recent test for cocci came back undetectable again, and we are very happy for that. She's also been experiencing fewer GI issues since she started a simple regimen of over-the-counter items from the drug store. Denise had a couple liver labs over the last few months that came back unfavorably at first. Retesting after eliminating supplements from the health food store showed normal results.

Over the summer Denise discovered Facebook. You can look her up as Denise Hall Williams. She's not on frequently, but she would be encouraged to hear from any of you that kept up with her struggle.
