Today, December 7 2008, I hereby permanently and summarily withdraw my allegiance to the Dallas Cowboys effective retroactively to 3.5 hours ago.
Any of you that believe your team is worthy of my support are welcome to make the case here, and I will grant it full consideration.
That is all. As you were.

The "Moment of Confusion."
Doctors are taught in medical school that when they hear hooves to look for horses not zebras.
Folks, allow me to introduce you to my zebra, Emma.
We made our trip to Dallas to visit with the nephrologist about Emma's biopsy results. Keep in mind that this is one of the top pedi neprologists in the country. He sat up on the table in the exam room, and said "Well, it's very confusing."
Without getting into a lot of the details, Emma does have an auto-immune process of some kind that is attacking her kidneys. Right now we're just going to put her on ACE inhibitors in order to stop the protein from spilling out in her urine, and it will be up to the rheumatologist to decide when to start chronic steroid therapy.
The one thing I want to point out is that Amy detected all of this a year ago, and I suspect that the doctors are confused about the biopsy results because these diseases are not usually detected until they are in an advanced stage.
So what does this mean for Emma's future? I don't even want to think about it.
More later.
