As some of you know, Lisa had a scare about a month or so again where she lost eye sight three times in a span of about 20 minutes. At the time she was running a pretty high fever and she wanted to ignore the issue chalking it up to the flu. After a little coaxing from her boss and me, she went to the doctor and then had an MRI. The MRI report was less than difinitive so off to the neurologist. Of course Lisa and I were prepared for the worse case which everyone including our GP was leaning toward....M.S. Neurologist's diagnosis....Migraine headaches!!! Total relief; not that Migraines are any walk in the park but much more controllable compared to MS.

Well the neurologist wanted to absolutely make sure that there isn't any other issue and wants to completely rule out MS. Today Lisa goes in for three tests to measure brain reactions to different stimulus. She starts today with a BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) then she has a VER (Visual Evoked Response) and then finally an EEG (Electroencephalogram). These tests should completely rule out MS, Epilepsy and other nasty problems. I don't know if she will get immediate feedback or we will have to wait to get results. We will keep you posted.

I went out and bought 7 cubic yards of mulch to be delivered on Saturday afternoon (guess what I am going to be doing this weekend?). If any of you want to come over an help, the mulch should be delivered around 3pm.

The drywall contractors that worked on our house are back fixing about a dozen nail pops and a large crack that has formed in the ceiling of Shawn's playroom where two pieces of the drywall meet. When they walked in the door, our usually very calm Dauber went into attack mode and was very protective of Lisa. Wow, wonder what got into him? Once Lisa said it was okay and the guys made nice, everything was back to normal. I guess that I didn't need to spend the money to install the extras on the alarm system.
