    Hey guys, quick synopsis...
    I've been hanging in the hospital with my son since Thursday getting treatment for what we finally found out was a severe case of Crohn's disease. We've been battling severe weight loss, lower G.I. issues, vomiting, a ton of other digestive tract issues for a while now. It took almost 2 months, a slew of blood, urine and stool tests, a CT scan, and finally an inpatient stay, to figure out wtf was going on. While the disease itself is managable, the massive weight loss and malnutrion caused by the Crohns was a serious concern (10 years old, has lost 15 lbs since july, went from 74 to 59, 7 lb loss since beginning of Jan) so he's plugged into IV nutrition and a slew of meds just to get his stomach, intestines and esophagus back to normal.

    At any rate, he's in Mary Bridge Childrens Hospital in Tacoma, WA. He's going to be here for at least the next week. They've got a cheer card program, so you can log on and send over get well cards via the interwebz, and he would love to just get a pile of them....

    Here's the link... MultiCare > Cheer Cards

    His name is Sean Millard, room K569

    Thanks in advance

    Well, first off, I want to say thanks. It's pretty cool that this thing has migrated over here...it's good to see good vibes go viral on the web :)

    My wife and I were reading off the cards to my son today and I saw some come through from ToyotaMinis, so I figured I would pop over and say thanks. We wound up with 177 care cards this morning...lol...with more to come I'm sure. All the well wishes are much apreciated.


    And, for what it's worth I drive a Toyota as a daily...not quite a mini, but mostly. '96 T100, 4cyl, 5 spd...she's a mini in a full size body..lol.
