Ni hao, my fellow Browncoats.

I know I haven't been the most active Browncoat on the site as of late, but this is my online home and has been since I joined. However, my daughter has been diagnosed with Displastic Spondylolisthesis. It is a birth defect that has affected her vertebrae. The bad news is it will require surgery and several months of recovery. The good news is the surgery will fix the problem.

I think it goes without saying that I am scared by the idea of my 10-year old baby girl going into surgery, and to admit that is even scarier, but I am.

So I just would like everyone to keep my daughter, Jana, in your thoughts, wishes, prayers. If you'd like to stay informed of her progress, I will be posting updates on CaringBridge here:

Jana has been a long time Browncoat as well. I think as early as age 3 she would sit on the couch and watch the show with me, though it wasn't until school age that she began to actually engage with questions about the show.

Ultimately, I know you all understand I won't be working on some of my outstanding projects, and Caption Tightpants will once again be shelved, but once she's healthy and on her feet adventuring as she does, plotting her world domination (true story!), I'll return.

Thanks, as always, just for being here for us.

I will be sending positive vibes your way Tenth, and I hope the procedure is as non-invasive as possible on your daughter.

Having had a three nephews endure surgery I totally understand your anxiety. You know it's for the best but you still can't help but become worried for them.

Anyway. All the best for you and your daughter.
We'll be here when you return.

Hugs

Wishing an easy surgery and a speedy recovery for your daughter. May all you have to endure is a little necessary whining because she is bored during her recuperation.
