My baby is 6 weeks today. I tried jogging a few times this week for a few minutes each time and I my core is super jello-y. A friend and I started a Landsharks cross country team at our kids school and we have 33 kids on the roster! Looking forward to a fun season.

Somehow you are on the lone faithful list, Nan. Welcome back. We loved your birth story. I'm glad you had good midwifery and imagery working in your favor! Congratulations. Your hard running might seem a little bit easier after that ordeal.

I didn't expect to see someone I knew in Runner's World. And I saw you plus 3 or 4 guys from St. George in the same issue!

Nan:

I am always late when it comes to important events, but better late than never. Congratulations on the addition!

Got a message from Lindsey Dunkley that Aaron is the hospital with ulcerative colitis. We are obviously concerned. Not sure if you are up to answering questions online at this point, but if you are - How serious is it? How is he doing? Is there anything we can do to help?

Hi Sasha thanks for saying Hi. We checked Aaron into the hospital on Monday because of this severe flare of ulcerative colitis. He has lost 30 lbs in the past month, he was in a great deal of pain even on pain medication, and he was becoming extremely weak to where he needed more assistance than I could provide him at home. His colon does not seem to be responding to the GAPS diet we started him on a month ago or the meds they have given him and the Doctors are going to try others drugs to see if they can find one that works. Yesterday they said his colon was dilated and warned us that if it perforated he would need emergency surgery to remove the colon but now today they are saying it looks a little better. The Doctors have not given us a timeline for how long he will need to be hospitalized. Right now they are waiting for his colon to look a little healthier before they dare scope it. The most helpful thing for now is to keep him in your prayers. Our Ward here has been SUPER helpful with meals and childcare so that I can support Aaron and we have already felt many tender mercies from the Lord. We are hopeful that things will turn around and eventually he will be restored to full health hopefully sooner rather than later. Thanks for your care and concern.

You are in my prayer, keep you chin up and keep us updated.

Sorry about Aaron- you're both in our thoughts and prayers.
