Happy New Year

2008---WOW! another year has flown by. We ended last year as a dud (I didn't even make it to midnight), but Preston did ring it in alone.--poor guy. I hope everyone has a safe night. This morning proved quite a bit more eventful. Lauren lost her first tooth. She was soooo excited. She has checked under her pillow all day to make sure the tooth fairy hadn't come already. She is confidnet she has reached a major milestone in her young childhood. It is really cute. Here are some pictures of her and her newly missing tooth.

On the Will medical front. Same stuff, different day. He finished the new strong antibiotic on Friday, and also had his 18 month check up on the came day. He said both ears looked clear and we were happy to hear we are on the road to recovery....however Sunday morning he woke up with fever of 102 and his right ear is now draining. We are very frustrated and concerned. He has an appointment on Thursday for another post-op visit and I guess we will know more then.

As for the rest of us this is also a very sad New Years day. My dad's wife ,ickie, has been admitted to the hospital last night with severe headaches. A CT scan showed a mass the size of a nickel on the left side of her brain. Further testing done this morning from an MRI showed lesions on all parts of the brain. The doctors have ordered more CT scans of her chest, abdomen, and pelvis to see if anything else shows up in those areas. It is all very early and that is really all that we know so far. I will keep you updated with any new developments. Love you all. Enjoy the pictures.
