Birthdays

Both Wayne and Michael celebrated their birthdays on November 11. Michael received some money in place of presents and decided to purchase a Nintendo DS and a Mario Game. He just loves it! Wayne got a hat and t-shirt and his painted house.
My mom, Laurel White, had her birthday yesterday. She was recovering from a tooth removal and spent the "drooling on her pillow." Brendan has started PreSchool at the Lehi Legacy Center and just loves it. He is going twice a week for 2 hours a day.
The weather is getting cooler and just about all the leaves are off the trees. As I was not feeling well on Saturday the neighbors came and raked the whole yard and made a huge pile of leaves (which I have resisted jumping in for 4 days now).
I went to the doctor yesterday and we are changing my medication again. It seems as if my last medication was causing the headaches so that I was having one a day. I will be on straight steroids for the next week then on some new meds. I will also be having an MRI on Tues (11/18) to check for small clots in my brain. They believe I may have a condition that is allowing unpurified blood to pass into my head from my heart. UPDATE . . NOTHING WAS SEEN ON MY MRI TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS. IT DID SHOW A BAD SINUS INFECTION, WHICH WAS THE SOURCE OF MY THREE-DAY HEAD PRESSURE/HEADACHE. STEROIDS CLEARED THAT UP.
Only two weeks until Thanksgiving!
