Michael had his MRI today. We will get the results in about a week. And tomorrow someone comes to evaluate him for therapy. Hooray, things are happening. I am hoping for more knowledge, more tools to help Michael become who he was sent here to be. I know Heavenly Father created him and that He will help us know how to help him.
Today was a little surreal for me. An MRI isn't really a major event, but when you have to put your baby on anesthesia, it kinda becomes one. It was scary for me. But, he did great. Especially considering he was ready for a nap and really hungry. (they can't have anything but clear liquids six to eight hours before and nothing after 6am) After he woke up and really came to, he snuggled into me. I never wanted to let him go. The paper I had to sign about the small risk of death and other side effects really occupied my mind during the hour and twenty minutes he was away from me. I am grateful to be his mother.
On a very different note - I am curious about everyone's thoughts about Sarah Palin. I have mixed feelings. Let me know what you think.

WEll, I am glad you got the MIR and that someone is coming to evaluate Michael. Sarah Palin - I like her better than McCain or Obama. I like that she has worked her way up in politics from PTA person to governor. But I don't know about other things. I enjoyed watching her speak at hte Republican Party thing - it was one of the only political talks that I have enjoyed as an adult. She seems like a good enough person - I just am not sure what she will be like in Washington - I would rather vote for her though. She seems to have many of the same values I have - family, abortion, etc. I guess I need to learn more but it is frustrating because it is hard to get honest and upright information these days about anyone!
I'm so glad progress is being made, Cyndi! THat's such good news.
As for Sarah Palin. . . I had nothing but positive things to say about her, until I saw her interview with Charlie GIbson. YES, he was being a jerk and trying to make her look dumb, but she just didn't do well. . . and that makes me nervous. There's nothing more frustrating to me than a "Politician" and that's how she came off in that interview. So now I don't know how to feel. . .
I am so happy that you can start getting some answers. You are a brave Momma, Being a mom isnt for the weak of heart! It bothers me that she has a pregnant teenage daughter. This is why, if she cant control her own children how do we expect her to help run the country?I'm against abortion but more for abortion than teenagers having and raising babies,(the baby gets its life screwed up without say) so I don't know.I really dont like McCain. I like Obama more except the abortion issue and I dont really like Obama. So its kind of who on earth should I vote for? Which bad candidate do I pick? That said I think we need change. Does that mean a Democrat, who knows?
I'm so glad that things are happenning. I bet it was hard to wait for all of this. It will be nice to know things for certain so you can know how to take care of him. I hope things are good. How scary for you.
I'm not sure if we are coming down for Jess's thing or not. We really want to, but we are not sure if we afford it. Hopefully though! We will keep you posted!
I am so glad you guys are starting to make some progress with Michael. You guys are very brave. Just know that you will never be alone in this. :)
As for Palin? I like her. I think she's smart, and very capable. I didn't see the interview yet, but I liked her speech at the GOP and I think she's more appealing than Granddaddy McCain. I think she's a good addition and will make hardcore Republicans pretty happy since McCain is more of a moderate. We'll have to see what happens in the next couple of months...but I will be watching her, as will most of America.
Oh Cyn - what an experience! So hard to have hard things happen to our kids. We love y'all! Was it a full body MRI?
