How's your nephew, the Army medic, doing?

[Lion in Winter]

Actually not well at all. Has developed an illness called Crohns disease and is in hospital now in Washington with internal bleeding. Will be discharged from service as soon as the Army gets him well enough. Has lost about 45lbs in recent months. even with the stroid treatments they give for the illness.

We are all upset as he is NOT doing well at all. Seems this disease is both large and small intestines which is rare. Thanks for asking.

I have had two major surguries in recent months and am almost completely home bound now.
