Wow! Christmas is over! It sounds like it was good for everyone.

I went over to Jessie's. Steve's uncle was there, and so was my ex. It was not the most comfortable situation. Steve's uncle is some piece of work! He has spent most of his life sponging off of family members, living in their houses, not contributing, and it always ends badly. He lived with Jessie and Steve for a while, but it was when she first got MS, and he did help a lot around the house. He send money to his daughter, who lives inm Hawaii, and claims to have none of his own. It's very crazy! He is sick now with cancer, and is trying to con Jessie and Steve to take him in. They found him an apartment nearby, and offered to be available if he needs help, but of course, he turned it down. He is a real scam artist, although he is sick, and I wish him well. We all make our own choices though.

Jessie took Brandon for tests today. He may have idiopathic anaphylaxis, which means that his throat closes, and they don't know the cause. It is very dangerous, so Jess and Steve are very worried. I am too, but I am optomistic that it is treatable. He will probably need to be on steroids. He only had the throat closing once. He has gotten hives and other symptoms for a couple of years now. I feel so bad for him!

Other than that, it is nice and quiet. My summer friends are here for the Christmas vacation, and we are having a New Year's party. We had a party a couple of nights ago too. I love when they are here!
