Well, this week has been pretty exciting around here.
Margie was gone late into the evening each night for tech week, or "hell week," as it's known among the actors. The show opened on Friday and the audience seemed to like it (including Dan, Lyn and John, who were among them), despite some minor catastrophes.
Saturday and Sunday performances also went well--each one getting a little bit better. By closing night we'll be about perfect!
Margie and the kids went to Pirate's Cove only once this week. Dan and the kids went over to his sister Debbie's house today for a combined graduation (Brenden) and birthday (Debbie and Doug) party while Margie was at the matinee.
We're all very excited to be done with detox and back on "normal" food, though we did get John's test results back this week and it turns out that what's causing his skin problems is yeast. So next week we'll start a yeast elimination diet, which, unfortunately, will be even more restrictive and uncomfortable. The good news, however, is that once the yeast is completely out of his system, not only will his skin clear up, but he'll be able to go back to normal food (in about 6 months).
In some sadder news this week, Dan's dad suffered what is sometimes called an "ocular stroke," which has left him blind in one eye. The official name for his condition is "Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy," which you can read more about here. He has had a biopsy of the arteries in his temple to determine whether he has the more serious form of the condition. Please keep him in your prayers.
We are looking forward to a more relaxing week ahead, with perhaps a trip to the beach, before Margie is back on stage on Friday.
We hope you are doing well!
P.S. John wants everyone to know that he now has 91 (out of 150) stars in his Mario DS game!!
