Hospital Pass
I don’t normally sully this page with actual news, but just for a change here we go. OB Todd is spending some quality time at the Children’s Hospital with what looks like another UTI. Luckily he’s in the best place for treatment and hopefully this time we got onto it early enough that he’ll be …
