Weekly Update -- 21 - 27 April 2008

Yay, I'm 68 weeks old today!

Masinja had a pretty eventful week. It started on Monday with a trip to the pediatrician. He had his 15 month well baby exam. He got his checkup and then he got some of his immunizations. After that he got bloodwork done. He was not too happy about the immunizations but he was a trooper for the bloodwork. He also had an EEG on Monday afternoon. His new neurologist wanted a baseline EEG. T.M. got to stay with him and I had to wait in the waiting room. I let T.M. go with him because I was afraid that he wouldn't cooperate for the technician. Unlike the EEG that he had done in Louisiana, they do not sedate here. We had to deprive him of his nap that morning in preparation. He did really well. He fell asleep fast and only got upset when the technician woke him up and then proceeded to pull the electrodes off of his head. I can only imagine how much it hurt since it involved pulling his hair!

Masinja had his first appointment with his neurosurgeon on Thursday. He will be going back for an MRI sometime in the next week or so.

Sunday we participated in the March of Dimes March for Babies walk. This week marked the one year anniversary of Madelinja's passing so we wanted to do something in her honor. They were passing out balloons and T.M. was given a pink balloon. We considered it quite symbolic. It was as if Madelinja was walking with us. Even though she was not with us in body, she was certainly with us in spirit.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.M.
