1/28 Update..

I guess I'll start with the gossip..  We got a call today from the detective covering our home break-in from last February.  The burglar is behind bars today.  They were able to pickup DNA off the cigarette butt he left in our driveway and link it to his prison record. He was apparently involved in gang activity (whatever that is) and has a history of crimes involving shootings.  From that they were able to link his mug shots to two bank robberies he had done a few weeks after our house.  He apparently skipped town to Chicago after the bank robberies, and while there got involved in a drug deal gone bad and ended up getting shot. He is now paralyzed and will spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.  The federal courts will take care of the sentencing first for the bank robberies. They're guessing 20-30 years.  Not sure if they'll even do anything regarding our break-in.    Again, we are so very luck and thankful nothing happened to Katie and that the boys stayed sleeping through the whole thing. 

Now regarding the princes.. She is doing great (sitting in my lap right now).  I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but we decided to go ahead with the muscle biopsy.  We will be doing it here in Madison on Feb 9th as well as a skin biopsy and endoscopy.  We met with the surgeon yesterday to go over the details.  Result should follow about two months after the surgery.

Today we drove to Milwaukee to see Dr. Li, the 'greatest Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome specialist in the world' (paraphrasing his actual title).  We had a nice long discussion about the next few things we can try to get this little girl to break this cycle.  We'll see how it goes..
