there’s nothing wrong with kids that trying to reason with them won’t make worse

Good News!

It's not a Dacia Sandero!   (little joke there for my kids)

One of the more stressful aspects of Ben's cancer is that the Air Force convenes a MEB every time serious health problems arise.  The Medical Evaluation Board basically decides whether or not to fire you due to health.  Because the actual decisions are made by people who have never met Ben it seemed likely he would be kicked out simply because the Force's MO lately seems to be to kick everyone out.  Can you tell I have no faith in the logic which supposedly governs the military?

While our last visit with the oncologist was all very good news, we still had no idea what the MEB would do with the information.  Luckily, the result was he should return to duty and re-report every 6 months.  His doc says she doesn't expect him to need any kind of treatment or for his cancer to be symptomatic for at least 5 years.  So, he has a job.  

Now we can freak out about how to pay for a kid in college and one on a mission.  whee!
