Don Robinson at MD Anderson

As I'm typing this note, Sunday March 23rd, Don and his Mother are on their way to Houston, where Don will check into the M.D. Anderson hospital. He has sort of a mystery illness that somehow involves his thyroid, or a part of it. It's potentially a very serious illness, especially if they can't find and remove the affected part. Please have him and his mom in your thoughts and prayers for the next few days. I know just from talking to him that he's nervous about all of this, and who wouldn't be.
Don, if you read this, start calibrating all of the instruments that they'll be using on you. You may not want to tell the doctors what and how to do things though, they've done it before, even if they are all 23 YOA.
Seriously, take care, and keep us posted on how you're doing. Blessings and peace to both you and your Mom.
Robert

Well, if anyone can patch him up, the docs at MD Anderson can. Don, you're in our prayers.

Great news for me!!!

The Dr. located the bad parathyroid gland today and scheduled surgery for next Monday. This is a great relief for me. Within a few months I should have my brain back in order and be back to making folders.

Fantastic news! I'm super happy it went well!

Take your time, mend properly, and then get back to work.
