Dallas trip

On May 8th, we headed to Dallas for Paycos' neurology appointment. We have been seeing a neurologist there since July of 2006 when he was diagnosed. Last year during an MRI they found a cyst on his brain that they think is actually totally unrelated to his seizures and is in an area of the brain that is common to have random cysts. His doctor (Dr. Arnold, who is awesome) wasn't too concerned but just to be safe, she wanted him to have MRI's every 3 months. So every 3 months we went to Dallas for these appointments and they finally determined that the cyst wasn't growing or causing problems so he doesn't have to have another MRI for a year! YAY!! He was thrilled to know that this last trip was just a check-up. Dr. Arnold gave us wonderful news. In November, if he is still seizure free, it will have been 2 years since his last seizure!!!!!! They will do an EEG and if there is no activity, we will discuss taking him off the medication!!!!!!!!!! This was great news for us!! He has been on medicine since 2006 and unfortunatly it has changed him. We were able to take him off one of the meds which helped but he was still not himself. He needs big prayers that this goes away and STAYS away! I can't wait to see the difference in him once he comes off the medicine. So, we'll see!

While we were there, we decided to make a mini vacation of it and go to Six Flags. Paycos has been before but this was Kyler's first time. The kids loved every minute of it. Paycos rode every ride he was tall enough for like the Texas Giant, Judge Roy Scream and the Titan!!! I couldn't beleive it!! He was totally fearless. He has my weak stomach so I was very surprised he didn't get sick. He even rode the loopy ones that go up-side down! Kyler, on the other hand, stuck to the smaller rides which was perfectly fine with her! She was happy enough sitting in the wagon, eating ice cream, and watching the boys ride! We all had a really good time (even though I couldn't ride anything!) The weather was cool and it wasn't crowded at all. PERFECT DAY!!

RARE picture of me!! I don't allow people to take my picture while I'm preggo because I just seem to look AWFUL!! I think my face is the first place I gain weight! But this was a cute one of Paycos so I decided to put it up!

Justin was thrilled about riding this one...can you tell?
