Everyone loves the video that Jae made of Dylan! What a smile he has! Happy one-week old, JuHan-ee!

Work's been a bit crazy. Today I did a hybridoma screening, but I don't think that I got any of the clones I wanted. It was a good run. Everything's been running pretty smoothly so far.

I'm looking forward to flying out to see JuHan-ee this weekend with Mom. We'll fly out on Sat, and I'll return on Friday. It turns out I'll have to come into lab for a little bit that night before Sam and I drive up to Flushing, NY for Andrea's wedding.

Sam's got a cold, and today's lab meeting was cancelled because Sheng couldn't speak very well. His voice was hoarse. I had a runny nose last Sat so I'm hoping that I'll be OK by this Sat. to meet JuHan-ee.

Today was Dad's first day back to work since he fell. Dad and I saw Dr. Q and his assistants yesterday. They gave him the back-to-work letter. We also took a look at Dad's CT scan they did yesterday and compared it to when he was in the ICU. Dad didn't remember the CT scan from then. There was a big difference. The left front part was no longer white (indicating blood) and instead it was a bit darker gray than the rest of the brain, perhaps due to mild scarring. Dad will have to stay on the anti-seizure medication for another 3 months, but when we complained about his dizziness, the physician assistant lowered the dose by half. He can get an EEG in 3 months to see if he needs to continue with the medication. He will see Dr. Q and have another CT scan in 6 months. They did ask Dad to have another angiogram. This time with a CT scan and dye, but it's another appointment. I didn't think they saw anything significant last time so I don't really see the point. I think that Dad and I at this point really dislike procedures with needles.
