Happy Easter to everyone and happy birthday to Andrea. Last year we celebrated easter at  Mott Children’s Hospital, it was the 12th – just 5 days after her 16 1/2 hour surgery. She has came a long way. This past Thursday went as well as Mondays appts went. She has to wear a event monitor/computer until the 28th of April. This will record many, many things (blood pressure, heart rate, brain events, movements, etc) and hope it will give some answers regarding her fatigue. Although they said if they had to guess it was *********brain syndrome, the words are long and difficult. But it is common in people who have had brain surgery/tumors and will be forever. But will wait and see what the final tests tell us in April. Her Neurosurgeon wants to see her back in 6 months with a MRI prior – so hoping to schedule the MRI, neuro, oncology and otolaryngology all on the same day in sept – to save the car that now has over 314,000 miles on it. Other than that Andrea is keeping busy with school work, both bands and now ramping up for fair/show season and is very excited to be attending both fairs this summer for the first time. Guess that is all for now, will post again after the appts on April 28th. Celebrating Andreas 16th birthday (April 4) today and Andrews 18th birthday on the 14th. WOW, where did the years go?
