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.....
