POSITIVE THOUGHTS & PRAYERS . . .

For those of you who don't know, our little Rhett Man has been complaining about getting headache's for a few months now. So last week I decided to call his Doctor to find out if this was normal (which I was pretty positive it wasn't, as I didn't think a 4yr. old should even know what a headache is) and she of course said no and lets get him in so I can check it out. The next afternoon we went to see Dr. Gutman, who did an exam on him, checked his eye's .. which he has 20/20 vision and could see the chart better than me with my glasses on (hahaa), and she said that she thought it was probably a migraine thing which some kids can develop around his age, but just to be safe and take every precaution she wanted us to get a CT scan to make sure everything was good. So we scheduled an appt and on Monday afternoon Clay & I took him to get a CT scan. He did such an awesome job holding still and was very brave!! They told us to give it 48 to 72 hours and they would send the results to his Doctor who would then contact us.


For all his bravery, we stopped on the way home and let him pick out something special from the store, which he chose Cars 2 Legos (I know big surprise)!!!

So on Tuesday morning when my phone rang at 10am (not even 24hrs after his appt) and I saw that it was the Dr. office's # I knew it wasn't good ... the Doctor informed me that the radiologist had called the night before after hours and the results of the scan are showing some sort of dark, dense spot (she said it almost looks like bone, but until they get a better picture of it they cant really tell) that we need to look further into and they want to schedule him to get an MRI ... at this point I pretty much went numb and although I heard the rest of what she said, I dont think I completely heard it if you know what I mean. So now we are just waiting to hear from the office that is going to do the MRI to schedule an appt for further testing. At this point we are just saying lots and lots of prayers and trying our best to stay positive and strong. Thank you so much to all of our friends and family for all the support and extra prayers ... we need all the positive thoughts and prayers we can get.
