Elisabeth's Brain

We took Elisabeth to the doctor last week because of her frequent headaches. He ordered an MRI and they found a cyst on her brain. It's called an Arachnoid Cyst and it's not nearly as bad as a tumor. Some people have them their whole lives and never know about them. We have an appointment in two weeks with a neurologist in Salt Lake City. I'm not sure what he'll recommend. Sometimes they just watch it or she may have surgery to remove it. We'll just have to wait and see what he says, I guess. (You can see it best in the second picture where it looks like a big white area.)

 

 

Snow Canyon

Last Saturday we went to Snow Canyon, not far from our home. It's a great place for hiking, but best of all are the sand dunes!

Labor Day Fun

We spent a fun weekend with the Foster cousins, visiting from California. Today we had a picnic and played at the St. George town square splash pad and river. The little kids had fun playing in the water while the 'big' kids opted to go shopping!

Nathan had a surprise. While he was eating his fried chicken, he realized that his front tooth was missing and that he had swallowed it! He wants to know if the tooth fairy brings extra money for swallowed teeth.
