After
many years of countless negative results, I failed to get excited while Lisa
went through the process of completing the test. To our shock and excitement,
the test came back positive. It was after 10pm on New Year’s Eve, but we wanted
to be 100% sure before we got too excited. Lisa found a clinic open and we
raced to have another test completed.

Lisa and I saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra
back in Jacksonville in 2010, but we could only stay for the first half of the
show because we had to get home for the baby-sitter. You will never see another
“baby-sitter” typed on the blog because this was the only evening ever
that we had someone watch the kids while we went out. I take that back, grandma
watched Kellisa and Egypt while they slept once so Lisa and I could see a
midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Three years ago, Kellisa
and I had a week open for adventure. We decided to spend our time down in the
Palm Springs area to explore some new areas while making a return visit to
Joshua Tree National Park. Thanks to COVID, this would be Kellisa's first flight
in 50 months, by far the longest she ever went without being on an
airplane.
We had such a great time, we thought we would share our guide to the Palm Springs region again for our readers.
This
is the mysterious story of Kellisa’s 25th surgery which took place in
February 2025 at Suter Roseville Medical Center. The surgery lasted three
hours when the surgeon told us it should only take 60 minutes.
October 2024 – Kellisa had her first riding horse therapy session in more than 10 years and loved getting back in the saddle. Unfortunately, she started complaining of pain in her hips shortly after the ride. We took her to the doctor when the pain didn’t go away after a few days, and pain relievers weren’t helping. Tests were run and a few x-rays were taken. Nothing was obvious as far as her pain in the hip area, but in the corner of one of the x-rays, the radiologist saw something they couldn’t explain. A dark area of the stomach led them to believe a foreign object was “trapped” and would require further investigation.
