January 27. It is a day that will always have meaning to us, no matter how we wish it didn't. Two years ago we lost one of our closest friends, Tyler Palmer, to a tragic ski accident. He meant so much to so many, it is still hard to believe that he is not with us. Tyler did a lot of charity work, including several trips to Haiti with Engineers Without Borders so the events of the last few weeks have made me think of him that much more. Tyler introduced me to my wife Christa over ten years ago and for that I am forever grateful. I said this last year but it is as appropriate as ever: In honor of him go enjoy the outdoors, make a conscious effort to do something that helps our planet, and give someone a big heartfelt hug. We love you Tyler.
I wanted to write that post earlier today, but we ended up spending most of the day at UCSF trying to get to the bottom of a new issue that is bothering Carly. In the night she started grunting a lot and that has continued all day. She seems to be having abdominal pain, had some blood in her stool and started throwing up later in the day. After a day of tests we were sent home, only to have to return to the emergency room a little while ago as Carly was not improving. I am writing from our small room in the emergency department now, where we are likely to spend the night as there are few rooms to spare on the hospital floor. Carly is resting a bit now for the first time today, and we are hoping that some of the tests they are running will help shed some light on her most recent issue.
Love, Brad

Sending love and healing thoughts to you and hoping for answers as to what is bothering Carly.
Ramping up the love, well wishing and prayers. And know that today we are going to gather some items to send with some doctors from our town to take Haiti with them. Will send an extra (cute) stuffed animal in Carly's honor.
Hoping Carly is feeling better - thinking of you all and Tyler!
Love, Savannah
Brad...Thanks for your heartfelt thoughts about my son Tyler. We fired up a grid tied net metered PV system in our yard on Jan 27 honoring his memory...I miss him so much but try to stay positive thinking by trying to follow in his footsteps as best I can.
Hoping and praying things are slowly but surely going to get better for Carly Grace and her loving parents in 2010...:-)...
