Need Prayer!

Just wanted to ask for prayer for Steve. He just got back from the doctor and may have shingles or a pinched nerve. If it is shingles there is the chance that Cohen (who has not been immunized) could get chickenpox. Shingles and chickenpox are from the same viral strain. If it is a pinched nerve, Steve will have to see a neuro-surgeon.

He goes back to his doctor tomorrow afternoon in hopes of determining what is causing the tremendous pain in his upper back and right arm (it just happens to be the same arm that he had the cellulitus and thrombo-pheblitis in last year after he had the meningitis!).

Steve's mom is here visiting and is willing to stay at least until friday (hopefully we will know what is going on by then!) and longer if need be.

In other news- Keegan has started the 7th grade! They start really early here for some reason (Aug. 17). He is loving it so far! He has told us a bit about his teachers, for instance, he says that if you ask his science teacher if she is an alien, she will say yes and that she is over 100 million years old. She also promised to show the kids her home planet on the astrological maps when they study astrology! I think we need to keep an eye on her!!!!

Cohen is almost crawling. He has figured out the military crawl and can reach/get to anything he wants! Brinley is getting more verbal everyday. Yesterday in the car she took her shoes and socks off (which she had been told not to do) and said giggling "Mommy, socks shoes off! Me naughty girl!" Tristan was also very proud of himself for praying all by himself last night. He thought he could only do "the food prayer"!

More later as we get info.
