Week 16 - MRI

We were invited to a family's home for supper. They told stories as we listened to stories and laughed. The boys played with their zip line, toys, and the other children for the evening.  I left early to attend my self reliance class.
The three men in our family continue to get their weekly allergy shots. The shots are more difficult for Hurricane than they are for Underfoot. We hope that they will make a difference.

Sweetheart continues to see the chiropractor for the car accident. The hope is he will be released from care soon. He is getting regular adjustments and a bimonthly massage. He is improving and isn't as sore as he once was.

We had a private tryout piano lesson with a new teacher and hoped to have started with her this coming summer. After the lesson, we made arrangements for us to begin with the teacher. Two days later the teacher came back and said that she felt she couldn't in good conscience put our boys at the beginning of her wait list. She has a wait list of about 2 1/2 years. I appreciated her honesty for being true to her principles.

In honor of Columbine, there was no school on April 20. We signed Underfoot up for a middle school orientation class. He attended the in the day, and he was really excited to begin middle school in the fall.

Lunch Date

While he was in his class, Hurricane and I went to see my PCP since the headaches hadn't gone away for the concussion.  She scheduled an MRI for me that afternoon to make sure that nothing was going on in my brain and had an x-ray taken of my neck.

I found a willing family to watch the boys while I went for the MRI. The result said that the brain is fine, and we had to wait on results for the neck. I was relieved to know that the brain was OK. Because of headaches I have been returned to concussion protocol with no screens, no reading, no exercise, lots of hydration, and the rest. We determined that it needs to be for 14 days.

On Saturday it snowed so we couldn't work on our yard.
