Well Ethan came through the surgery just fine. He was pretty grumpy immediately after the operation, but once we got him home he took a 3 hour nap and then woke up very happy. The doctor said there was quite a bit of fluid trapped in there so I hope it helps him considerably. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
I got word today that I should start looking for a job. That’s kind of disappointing. The contract I work on at Brooks City-Base is scheduled to end on 31 Jan 06. Normally, the USAF would just exercise an option to extend the contract, but in this case the mission is somewhat changing so that means they probably won’t do that. It’s possible they will rebid the contract, but even so, my company may not win it, and even if they did, it looks like they will cut personnel by about 75%. Basically I need to start looking for a job.
In the world of defense contracting things are always a little uncertain, but is there any profession with no level of uncertainty? The good thing about my situation is at least I have some time. I know some people who have had the unpleasant experience of showing up to work one morning, only to be told they were being let go and then having security escort them out of the building. At least I have the advantage of knowing the target date of 31 Jan, and there is a possibility (slight as it may be) that the contract may continue. We shall see what the future holds.

Eric,
What exactly is your line of work?
Glad to hear Ethan made it through OK!!! Every surgery or procedure with a little one is scary, no matter how minor it is. Let me know if you want that job contact information again from Neal's Dad.
Take Care!
