................headaches

Zachary has been getting headaches for awhile now, and it has only gotten worse so I took him to the dr and they ordered him a MRI. I took him today for it so we should know more tom. I hope its nothing, but why the headaches? He wakes up in the middle of the night with them really bad that I have been giving him the stronger medicine which I don't like to do unless I have to.

So please say some prayers for us.

...........................Counting down

Zachary & I are counting down the days till our special trip to Disney in September. We are at 29 days and counting. Every morning Zachary wakes me up and tells me how many days are left. I think he is really getting excited now. We are going to be meeting some friends of ours and that just adds to the excitement.

Last week Zachary had abscessed tooth so I took him to the dentist and they referred us to the oral surgeon and he went in the next day and got his front top tooth pulled. He looks silly now since the other front tooth has moved crooked a little. The oral surgeon said his adult tooth still has to finish developing so it will be some time before his adult tooth comes in. Poor kiddo nothing can go easy for him. I can't believe he still hasn't lost a tooth on his own yet. He turned 6 in May, and most of his friends have lost atleast 1 if not 3-4 already. Oh well no sense in rushing it, it allows him to still look like a little boy. (Ha Ha)

School starts in about 2 weeks and neither child is looking forward to it. Marissa is entering 8th grade, and Zachary 1st. School shopping was quite a trip this year. Zachary has his own personality and taste of clothese. T-shirts & jeans if he had his own way. He tells me he won't wear polo shirts because they are "Fancy". Marissa on the other hand is a little picky but we can atleast reason with her. Shoes on the other hand no reasoning in that area. Otherwise all-in-all it was a ok day shopping.

.............................Awesome Appointment

Yesterday we went to Boston for another check up on Zachary from his surgery & to see a new specialist. Well it was just a awesome day all the way around. We got in early for all appointments so that meant we got on the road early and home at a decent hour. LOL

First appointment was a ultrasound on his back & hip regarding the bruise he keeps getting. Then we went to the specialist. Well they believe its from the rob hitting a vessel and breaking it open so then the blood absorbs into the surrounding tissues. Seeing Zachary is so active there is nothing they can do and until the rod goes down when he grows it will keep flairing up. Thank god it wasn't something more serious.

Our last appointment was with Dr. Spencer and she is VERY pleased with his progress. She said he will have the on and off pain for some time and especially when the weather changes. They are going to still watch the rod in the Tibia but as of right now nothing to be active on. She said he can go back to gym class and playing baseball all to his tolerance level. We have 1 very happy little boy right now. He also doesn't need the walker to walk with anymore.

Thanks all for the concerns and prayers for this recent appointment. Everything was answered and looks good for the future.

Its been awhile since I posted, mainly because we haven't had much going on. Last week Marissa went to camp with the family and had a blast. She then came home for 1 1/2 days and flew off to Vegas for 2 weeks. I know people are like why are you letting her go that far by herself, well its a direct flight (we put her on the plane) and her uncle will be at the gate to get her off. After we saw her go up in the air Rob, Zachary & myself took off for Niagara Falls then onto to Toronto for a couple baseball games. We had the best time there and can't thank our special friend enough for the opportunity he gave our son.

Zachary will be finishing up his summer program in 2 weeks, and we are headed back to Boston next week for a check up and to see the new specialist for Zachary. I just finished pharmacology at the local community college and got a B+. I am so excited over that grade I can't even think about it without getting all excited again.
