Migraines
We had a scary thing happen this past weekend. Micayla was hit with a sudden and very painful headache. I took her to the peds office where they told me that they weren't sure but they thought it was possible that she had meningitis or encephalitis. SCARY!! So they sent us to Primary Children's Hospital. Because Matt works as a paramedic we opted to go by ambulance, we knew we could get her there quicker and since Matt was at work at one of his side jobs in Salt Lake so I wouldn't have to drive there alone and worry about her in the backseat. We were really worried about her.
After a few hours of exams and observation it was decided that she likely had a migraine. She complains of headaches a couple times a week but has never had anything this bad. We will be taking her in for a follow-up with her ped next week.
I have migraines occasionally and they are horrible, I can't imagine what it was like for her. Hopefully we will be able to figure out a plan for dealing with these in the future.
Anyone else dealing with migraines in their children?

Pass It On --- and an update......
I finished reading Quinn Bradley's book a while back and I keep forgetting to ask if anyone else wants to read it. I will be happy to pass it on..... Let me know.
One thing is for sure - I actually became a little more worried about Micayla's educational future when I read this book. I actually saw Micayla a lot in his story. Combine that with a few issues we had with her school in her kindergarten year, and withmy belief that at some point she will become lost in the public school system we have decided to homeschool her.
She got into th Utah Virtual Academy. It's an online charter school with a great cirriculum. We are all really excited. We will be able to learn together at a pace that she is comfortable with.
Last week she had her annual echo. I hate those things! I try not to look at the screen because even though I have no idea what anything means I always feel like something is wrong. We I WAS WRONG. Everything was great! It's so weird having a Dr. that is great at what he does and has all that education tell you how much of a miracle you child is. Well anyway, we are set for another year.
