Age of AN patients: UPDATE with data and names thru post 126 p 9

Hi Mark,

Yes, you did call it a "garden variety" AN.  That is the only comment I can remember precisely as the rest of them are a blurr when I was so devastated then.  Your comment was the "calmer"!!  I guess and hope the "garden" is dying now as I can feel lots of "activiites" going on in there....

My last trip was not a "breeze" since I had to go from San Diego through LA to Singapore to Bombay all in 1 "sitting" or "sleeping"...  Then one night in Bombay followed by Bombay to Dubai to Hong Kong - also a 1 "sitting"/"sleeping" trip.  One night in Hong Kong.  Then came home.  A 6-day trip!!  Don't envy me please!!!  It was ugly!!!     SF to Fort L. is much preferred  .   Hope to cut down travel somewhat...

BTW, we should start planning another west coast get together...  It was fun last time...

     Taylor had a tough time just learning to read in about 1st grade.  It was much harder for her than for her older brother.  She would get so frustrated.  I asked her neuro surgeon if the tumor could have been affecting her then, causing her cognitive problems.  He said "before then" so we are sure hers had started to grow befor she ever started kindergarten.  Finding the right diagnosis sure explained a lot.
