Update on Laine....

Laine had another bad headache today. Screaming, "Ooowie, MY HEAD HURTS."
With that said, we are scheduled for a Cat Scan of the head this coming Thursday at 3:00 PM MST. If you could, just say a little prayer for Laine (and mommy) at that time while they are scanning. I THINK Laine will be alright in terms of "fear" but lately he's been surprising me with more and more things he becomes fearful of, so we'll see. I told him it was like a ride at an amusement park (cause you lay on a bed and it moves you into the "donut" and back out again). He's never been to an amusement park, so I'm not sure how he'll interpret that! :) I tried! I've never been really good at describing words he's curious about or events he's wondering about.

Last week he had some labs done to test the liver, kidneys, etc, and they also tested for diabetes (his biological father, we know for sure, is diabetic), so we'll hopefully have the results on those before the end of the week as well. He also had an x-ray of his sinuses.
On a lighter note, Benjamin and I attended our first "official" school parent orientation tonight for Laine's new school! It's going to be SO GOOD for him! I'm so excited. The school is SO structured, they even require that all "families" volunteer for 12 hours throughout the entire year so as to participate and involve themselves in their childrens' school classrooms. They also require an actual homework time allotment to which we have to sign that we did spend that much time with our student! Pretty cool! It just makes for more respectful students (well, maybe not the older ones necessarily), and it is an overall well rounded committment of the parents agenda and I LOVE that! I think we're in for a great year! :)
I'll for sure have another update Thursday night at some point for you all! So check back.
