Diagnosis from MRI

The good news is I don't have MS or a tumor, however I was diagnosed with a congenital brain defect called Chiari Type 1 Malformation. Basically my brain sits too low in one spot and it pushes on my cerebellum and blocks the correct flow of spinal fluid. This is not life threatening (thank goodness) I have now been referred to a neurosurgeon, not necessarily for surgery but to figure out options. Please pray for me as we figure out a plan to help me live with this!

Just waiting.

The MRI went well. It took about an hour. I found it kind of relaxing. I know very sick of me. Most people totally hate them. I used it as a time to close my eyes and just not have to think for an hour!

Now I am just waiting for the dr. to call me with the results.

Prayers for tomorrow please!

I went to the dr on Friday. I have been having horrible headaches and even went to the ER in November. The dr thinks they are migraines that are spurred on by Sinusitis. So he gave me a concauction of medicines. But as I am tell him about my symptoms he tells me they all add up except for the debilitating pain that shoots down my legs many times after I stand up to walk. He said that he wants me to have an MRI to rule out MS. I don't think it is MS but I really love a dr that will look for everything instead of waiting and seeing! I am just so ready for these blooming headaches to go away! The MRI is tomorrow so I will not be on at all. But I will let ya'll know what I find out. Of course I looked up the symptoms for MS and I fit a number of them, stupid me for using google! Please pray that the MRI shows nothing!

Just have to brag!!!

Yesterday when I picked Logan up from school he handed me a card that said 100 club. That meant he stood infront of the teacher and counted to 100 all by himself. He does it for us all the time but finally did it for her. There are 22 kids in his pre-k class. 3 are 4 years old like him and all the rest are 5. There are only 7 kids that have counted to 100 and he is the only 4 year old. I am so proud of my little counter!

My baby the kindergartener!

We have found a kindergarten for Logan, It is at a daycare that has private kindergarten. Loved a ton of the private schools around here, just can't afford them! I am going to put a deposit today after work. They have a meet and greet in 2 weeks and we will take him to get accustomed to it. Then they will do an evaluation on him, but they wanted him to feel comfortable before doing the eval.
I know he will pass no problem so we will do kindergarten here for one year then move him to public school where he will be reevaluated to see if he should do excellerated kindergarten or move to 1st grade.
