we got a call from Paxton's specialist in Atlanta. His nurse told me that "everything looks good" he just wants us to go back up to Atlanta to "discuss Paxton's biopsies further." We're going next Thursday, November 6th.
Micah had to make another trip to the ER yesterday (he went to the ER during the night a week or two ago because of a bad case of bronchitis.). I was enjoying a field trip with one of my classes at the River Center (Scrap Arts Music...it was really cool!! my 5th & 6th graders LOVED it!!) when I got a call from Philip. The school called him after not being able to get in touch with me (due to the field trip). Philip let me know that Micah had fallen and cut his chin in the school bathroom and they were on their way to the ER.
Ended up not being a very traumatic ordeal at all, praise the Lord! Micah never cried at school when he got hurt, and was so strong and brave at the hospital!! Not only did he not cry (not even as the doctor stuck a q-tip of betadine in the cut to clean it out), but he was cheerfully talking and entertaining the doctor who was working on him. :)
They were able to use liquid stitches - or as Micah called it - SUPER GLUE! Then they placed some white strips over that to keep it tight and secure - to which Micah responded, "this is like DUCK TAPE!" And finally, a large band-aid over all of that. So Micah tells everyone that the hospital fixed his boo-boo with super glue and duck tape!! :) If I had known it was that easy...I would've saved several hundred dollars and done it at home!! :)
I'm battling a severe headache today...one of the worst I've had in a while...and I've had it since yesterday afternoon. Praying it goes away soon!!
Hopefully we can stay out of the ER for at least another week.....

Paxton's tests went well on Wednesday, though the preps Sunday through Tuesday were extremely difficult on him and made him really sick. His doctor says we should have all of the biopsies back sometime next week. Thank you so much for all of your prayers!!! He's feeling MUCH better!!
I'm doing ok. Just taking it one day at a time! I'm anxiously awaiting our trip to Mayo Clinic in a few weeks. I'll keep you all posted on any changes!

just a quick update....
paxton will have his endoscopy & colonoscopy next wednesday. please remember him in your prayers next week. he'll have some challenging days sunday, monday and tuesday in preparation for wednesday and will really need the strength of the Lord!!
philip and i are still planning our trip to jacksonville for my appointments at mayo clinic in november. i'm nervous, but excited about having a fresh, new team of doctors looking at my case.
on an exciting note....paxton had a really incredible experience last week. many of you know that paxton is a huge NASCAR fan....specifically a big Jimmie Johnson fan!! he got to go to a fan club breakfast in charlotte last thursday. they asked him to come early to be interviewed for a FOX news station there in charlotte. (here is a link where you can watch the segment... http://www.myfoxcharlotte.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=7621609&version=1&locale=EN-US) when we arrived, kendra (a great friend we made in charlotte) met us in the parking lot with more good news!! paxton got to unveil Jimmie Johnson's 2009 car, which hadn't been seen by anyone (other that Jimmie and his people, of course!). paxton was beyond excited!! after being on tv, he was able to watch a pit crew practice. the guys were great to paxton. Greg Morin (Hendrick Motorsports Pit Crew Trainer) invited paxton to come over the fence with the guys. they let him change a tire...and then put him inside the practice car while they did a pit stop!! Greg let paxton keep three lugnuts from the tire he changed, and Mike Lingerfelt (Jimmie Johnson's front tire changer) gave paxton his gloves to keep. :) paxton was also able to meet Jimmie, take his picture with him and get a few things autographed. it was an incredible experience...one i'm sure he'll never forget!!! i have posted some pictures online at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=57044&l=c7c1f&id=606151192
p.s. i have to thank my friend, cindi mixon, for driving paxton and i to charlotte (philip had a conference to go to for work), videoing everything throughout the day, and for having fun with us!! :) cindi...you're awesome!!
