MRI

Josh had his MRI with sedation this morning and he's pretty out of it. He even asked his nurse if she was a girl--Aaron didn't quite know what to say. He tried to blame it on the meds, but Josh hadn't gotten anything yet. Aaron was wondering himself, anyway. Josh is slurring his speech and falls over once he's standing, but he still thinks he can get up and around. I guess that's what being drunk is like. It is going to be hard to keep him down today. Aaron had to take him to the hospital this morning because there was a small chance they were going to use contrast during the MRI which is radioactive and is not so good for pregnant people to be around. It was also a good thing he went because Josh had a hard time staying in the wheelchair on the way out to the car so Aaron ended up carrying him most of the way--he is over 50 pounds, too. Good news is the radiologist came to see Aaron right after and said everything looked normal. The neurologist also called me at home an hour later to say the same so it seems it is an electrical problem rather than a structural problem which is a BIG relief!! Since we have started meds we haven't seen anything suspicious so we assume they are working. It is hard because Josh has the seizures at night and would wake up with weird bruises or scrapes that he couldn't explain. We haven't seen any of that lately so we're hoping they are controlled.

Tomorrow is the big Terry family reunion, but unfortunately we aren't able to go. With it being 8000+ feet in elevation and me already dilated and it being about 90 minutes away from the hospital--it just wasn't a good idea. If my membranes ruptured I would be one of those people that would have their baby in the car which is not an experience I want. Also I am not quite 37 weeks either which is still pretty early to be having her. Maybe next time.

I also got out of girl's camp this year as well. It was this week and at the same place the family reunion is. I hope everything went well for them because they had 17 girls go and only three leaders could go with them--one being the camp director. I would have gone had I not been pregnant. Maybe next time.

We got some yummy cucumbers from our garden this week. I am looking forward to a fresh tomato--but all of them are still green.
