Health Update
Well, we managed to stay out of Virginia Mason for over three months! But just as Christmas was "spoiled" for us by a trip to VM, so also was Easter. Jenn was in for Good Friday to get a blood transfusion.
Blood transfusion -- on Good Friday. How appropriate, eh?
We were there for less than 24 hours, though, a new record. Jenn's experiencing what appears to be a chronic iron deficiency due to absorption issues in her not-so-active gut.
