The good news is...

He had another brain scan that showed no bleeding. Yay!

The bad news is ... he has a hernia. What?! I didn't even know that was an option! Was he lugging the washing machine around when nobody was looking? I don't really know what to say about this because I don't really know what it means. I'll have more information on it later.

It's strange how this works. I get the news that his brain is okay, and I'm elated. I get the news that he has a hernia, and I'm scared and concerned and confused. Cumulatively these two pieces of information should add up to a generally positive thing, because his brain is so important, and the threat of hemorrhage is very real and severe. A hernia is relatively not a big deal. But since I'm human I'm more concerned than anything else.

Weird, right?

durn kid, pumping iron when nobody's looking!

Thinking of all of you from out here in Hawaii, and asking the hawaiian gods for their blessing.
