Well, I finally got the phone call we have been waiting for. The doctor here at the NBHC was able to get ahold of Yale and get the results on Alvin's biopsy. I am happy to say that the test came back....
Negative! He doesnt have Hirschbrung's Disease. Now, just need the genetic results back so that we can go from there.
Alvin has a checkup on September 1, so I am hoping that we have the genetic results back by then. That way we can go from there.

Yes, waiting. The genetic testing was done two months ago; the biopsy was done a month ago. We still dont have results. I have called Yale repeatedly. Leaving messages with both humans and machines. I have never been called back. Yesterday, I involved the NBHC (Naval Branch Health Clinic). Hopefully, the Lt I talked to will be able to get further than I did. He said that he should know something within 24-72 hours. So, we wait yet again.

This is my brand new niece, Audra Elizabeth. She was born yesterday at 3:50pm. She weighed 7 pounds, 5.2 ounces and was 21 inches in length. I am a very proud aunt and Eric is an ecstatic uncle. We cant wait until we are able to make the trip home to meet the gorgeus princess.
Audra Elizabeth
Karen and Audra. Look at all that hair!
Beautiful girl.
I am an Auntie! Karen gave birth to this darling creature named Audra today. She weighed 7lbs, 5ozs. I have no clue on the exact time or length yet. But rest assured, I will find out!
7lbs, 5ozs of perfection
Dad and Sam got here fairly late on Thursday evening. So, we didnt visit much that day. Eric had duty anyway, so it wasnt a total loss as a day. Friday, Eric worked in the morning. Then Dad and Sam took me and the kids to lunch at the Groton Townhouse. Eric met us there. Then we spent the rest of the day just relaxing at home and talking.
Saturday, we spent the morning outside. Thank God for wonderful New England summer days. Erin asked to have her training wheels taken off. So Eric obliged, and off she went. After one brief fall, she was on her way. She did so well. She even tormented Emali about the fact that she was only 5. (Em just took her training wheels off a couple of months ago).
Then, we got ready and headed to the Lebanon Country Fair, in Lebanon, CT. We got to eat tons of yummy delicious fair food. Then, it was time for Dad and Sam to head out, and for us to watch the Monster Truck races.
I have just been insanely busy. Having Eric on leave doesnt leave much time for blogging, but he is back to work now. We went to the beach, alot. We went to a CT Defenders game (Military Appreciation night). Mostly, we just spent time together. We are preparing this week to have Eric's dad and step-mom visit. So, its alot of putting things away, etc. The real preperations though are for my Grandma. Her and my step-mom will be visiting towards the end of the month. The house WILL be spotless! At least, that is the goal.
So, no stalkers. I didnt die. I am just busy.
