This is a tough update to put together, but I need to get it out there. We’ve known for a couple weeks now that the lung biopsy was kind of an all or nothing situation. If it came back negative, then we’d have a tough, but clear path out of this. If it went the

Tegan first … Still no actual medical updates as we had to reschedule her appointment this week due to my and Christie’s romantic getaway to NYC.

First, a most important note: Tegan’s MRI was cancelled at the last minute by insurance (no comment) – it’s now been moved to another location next Thursday. She’s doing okay at the moment, walking a bit more, getting wheelchair rides, etc. Let it be said that she is almost comically tough though, so it’s hard

Friends and family, I’m sure most of you know the backstory of this by now … aches and pains this spring and summer, doctors visits, bloodwork, few tests here and there, physical therapy, chiropractor, full physical, orthopedist, etc etc. All the while I’ve been working, working out, running, and doing my thing, just complaining a
