Hello Family, I trust all is well with my far flung kinfolk. I wish to thank all of you for your letters, support and prayers. My wife is now doing much better and has been out of the hospital for about four days now, just in time for her birthday come Monday. For the curious she (Vanessa) had "drug induced hepatitis" which was caused by an allergic reaction to either the anesthesia or the pain medication from the knee surgery she had two weeks before the hepatitis got bad. Also found out that there is about fifty different types of hepatitis not just type A, B or C. Just found out Friday that some of my overtime is over with. So I might get to do a little work on the good stuff instead of punching a time clock. I am only about 200 emails behind and a gillion papers to type in. So I will spend the next few weeks catching up on my mail and my massive to - do list for around the house. I have been at work so long that I just now found out we had moved to a house on bay and i can go fishing, I hope I can remember how. Again thanks for all the kind words and prayers, you will never know how much it has meant to me and my wife. Give me some time and I be in the groove again. Shawn
