Just One Emergency After the Other.

Posted on 14 April 2008 by MommyKnows

Sorry peeps, we’ve had a rough week.

I’ve been x-rayed mri’d, jabbed, poked, prodded and parted with all kinds of fluids.

I’ve had several more ‘episodes’ where I loose feeling and the use of one or both of my arms (not fun). It comes with the most unbearable feeling … not pain but just as unwanted.

Will and I spent 13 hours in the ER over the weekend … tiring … boring … worrisome.

Lizzy scared us this evening by getting a BIG HONKIN’piece of wood stuck in her leg. There were no tears …

The Doc says, “she’s the toughest kid I’ve ever seen”. I agree :)

Oh … you wanna see?

Leg Pain

She also wanted me to take a picture from the top too, because you can see some blood. HAHA

Leg Wound

Talk to you soon!

Sam the Man – Part 2 (I was Paralyzed!!)

Posted on 09 April 2008 by MommyKnows

If it wasn’t obvious from my last post … I am kind of partial to Sam’s longer hair. I took all of your advice though, and let him make his own choice. Check out his choice below.

We were a day late going to the barber … yesterday afternoon I was temporarily paralyzed and lost feeling and the ability to move in both my arms and chest area. VERY SCARY! I’ve had this really weird tingling in my arms (and legs) for quite awhile. I spent last evening in emergency and today getting tests. I hope to have an MRI in the next couple of days. The consensus of the doctors that I have seen is that I have a space-occupying lesion near the C8 vertebrae (even after research … I can’t quite pinpoint what that is … I think it could be many things), but of course there are no answers until the MRI is done. *sigh*

Sam's Hair Cut - During
It took quite awhile to get rid of all that hair. It was hard to watch …

Sam's Hair - After
Still cute :) and feisty!
