Here we go again, I hope.

We have started again. The pictures show Jake taking down the cupboards in the kitchen and then later how it looks when the coverings and plaster are removed. The idea is to get the ceiling taken down. That can't be done until the wall was removed since the ceiling went in first. Here we go again. The "I hope" is me just wanting to make some progress. It helps with my disposition.

Update on Todd: His infection reared its ugly head again on his shoulder last Wednesday. The infectious disease doctor, another doctor added to the mix, wants to administer high power antibiotics through a "pick" line. Last night Todd was ready to just go to Chicago and have the whole mess removed next week. This morning, the doctor convinced him to try two weeks of the treatment. The doctor feels that the infection is near the surface and not in the pocket where the device resides. The drug will have to be administered twice a day, once in the doctor's office and once at home. Todd feels like he just can't catch a break with this whole thing. Prayers are needed. I hope that his pregnant bitch will help take his mind off of this additional problem. She is due at the end of March, and it is the first time that Todd has done the "puppy thing". Pictures to follow when that all comes down.
