Migraines, Migraines, and more Migraines.....

Greg is still suffering from migraines. On Dec 30th he had an MRI of his neck to see if there was anything there causing them. We got the results from the doctor the other day at Greg's appointment. They got good images, but nothing there causing to cause migraines. It did show his bones deteriorating, which the doctor said was normal. In some ways we were happy to hear this, but still unhappy that we still haven't found a reason for the migraines.

Next step: Due to all the meds Greg is on, he has gained weight and doesn't get a good night sleep and has a hard time breathing. While talking to his doctor, he suggested to have sleep study done. The doctor says that sometimes migraines are due to not getting enough oxygen to the brain and not getting into the deep sleep. So now we have it scheduled to go in for a consultation for the sleep study. Then they will determine the time for the sleep study. Greg also has to do some breathing meditation, mainly for his breathing, for about 10 minutes twice a day. We will see how well this goes.

2008 Christmas


We had been telling Kimber that Santa was coming to our home. The 1st time that we told him, he screamed "NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!". He remembered his experience from sitting on Santa's lap. Finally we were able to get him excited about Santa. He was starting to love the idea. He still have times that he didn't want Santa to come.


Kimber finally figured out he loves to open gifts. We had put some gifts under the tree and he tried to open one almost everyday for about 2 weeks. On Christmas Eve we let him open one gift. He was so excited about it, he wanted to open more. He opened a semi-truck w/4 little trucks. He loved it!!! He even took it to bed with him.

Christmas morning Kimber wasn't in any hurry to get up and open his gifts. We were able to even get him dressed. It finally clicked and he went for his first present. He took many hours to open his gifts. He wanted to play with each one after. We had a wonderful Christmas at home.
