And Then Chaos Ensued…
During my travels to Chicago this week…my Dad got hospitalized with possible kidney failure. Turns out there are all sorts of other symptoms as well and they’ve decided to biopsy his kidney this morning to try to figure out what is going on.

My brother is a huge motivation for this... Read More
