Debbie, sorry to hear about your son I pray that he continues to get better. It was me that has cancer and not my son Brian. Glad he is now home from his deployment and we're looking forward to heading up to Washington to see him and his family in about 10 days. We are driving and I'm not looking forward to a 15 hour drive, but will get to see them all.

Hi Everyone. I haven't been on here in ages! Kinda hard to remember my password. :) It's wonderful to hear about all the new babies! Congratulations Sarah! Congratulations again, to Nichelle and Sandra!

Melissa, I wondered what happened. What a mess! You must be really frustrated with the Navy's lack of consistency. I've heard a lot of stories about the Navy changing people's orders at the last minute. Not as bad as what Sonny's experiencing, though!

Brian, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and about your battle with cancer! Congratulations on beating it, though! That's wonderful!! Congratulations to Brian for his promotions in rank, too!

My son will be getting out of the Navy in December. He's had a lot of negative things happen and a lot of health issues.  He's been hospitalized twice in the last year. The first time, he was found unconscious in his room in Virginia, was very confused when the paramedics were finally able to wake him, and couldn't speak clearly at all. The doctor's couldn't find any signs of stroke or brain damage. Thank God! They thought it was PTSD. With the help of my Congressman's office, I was able to persuade the Navy to transfer him to San Diego so he could have the moral and physical support of family and friends. It took two months to get him transferred and another two months for his speech to return. It's completely normal now. Thank God, again! Then my son was hospitalized again a couple months ago with Epstein Barr syndrome and mono. His liver enzymes were extremely high and his spleen was enlarged. He'd had flu-like symptoms for over two weeks. The docs didn't worry until his urine turned brown. He was only in the hospital a few days this time, but had to have his liver checked every week and blood tests done for a while before they saw no detectable signs of mono or Epstein Barr. Epstein Barr never goes away. It will come and go throughout his lifetime. The docs still have nothing more than PTSD for the reason for my son's unpredictable fainting and loss of speech. I'm really worried about what the future will hold, but hope he will be a lot less stressed and a lot more healthy out of the Navy than in.

Here's hoping the next year will bring us all great things!

Hope all  are well and doing good. I finally got some good news. This last year has not been good for our family. My mom started having medical problems a little of a year ago and we found that she had cancer. We lost her at the end of November. A few months later I started my battle with cancer. My latest tests show no cancer. It's been hard due to Brian being deployed when my mom died and again with me. Just didn't want him worrying again. He was not able to come home when his grandmother pasted away and would not have been able to if anything happened to me. Knowing when I went into surgery that there was possibility that there was nothing they could do for me and coming out OK. We were able to get a message to him that I was OK. Well take care all and God Bless

We are doubling the size of our apt and going from a small 2 bed rm apt to a 4 bdrm new house with a tiny backyard but more then what we have now. I can't wait!!!

Sorry to hear that Melissa. Brian made 2nd Class. he wants to stay in also. He wants to go to Georgia next.

Wow, Melissa, that sucks that you were separated for no good reason. Should I cross my fingers that he stays in and his orders get changed again to someplace cheaper, so you can be together, and be employed?

Shawn is in the process of staying in and trying to put his officer packet in. We just go back last wk from being up in Alaska and attending the commissioning of the ship! I'm now on the frg board as vice president so very busy. We are also looking at buying a house out here. Maddie is over 7 mths old now and wearing 12 mth clothes already! Happy mother's day to every too! Hopefully in the next few wks we will hear about Nichelle and the baby!!!!
