Cookies and Crayons

The fire department in the City of Grapevine hosts a pancake breakfast with Santa every year. It’s a way for them to raise some money for a variety of their needs. The coolest part is that Santa, Rudolph and Frosty all arrive to the breakfast in helicopters. We decided to take Dougie yesterday. We ended up missing their arrival though we did see the helicopters as we were driving in.

Dougie enjoyed it. He got to meet Santa for the first time though he wasn’t sure what to make of him. He wasn’t really interested in having pancakes but Scott and I had some and they were quite tasty. We stayed about 45 minutes and then headed home. I’m so glad we went. We’re going to make it a little family tradition. I bet Dougie will love it next year.

We finally heard from the neurologist! They said that the MRI and the EEG both came back normal. The neurologist said that he is clinically normal. So, that is great news! It doesn’t explain why he’s having the spasms but it does mean that he’ll likely just grow out of it. We’re going to give it a month and see where he is at then. He does continue to have spasms but they seem to be in a reduced phase again, so perhaps that’s a good sign.

The doctor did mention that there was an elevation in his blood levels. There seems to be a ton of things that could be causing it though. She is going to fax the blood work to our pediatrician tomorrow and we’ll follow up with him. She did mention that it could be an allergy or something. Hopefully, those results will get to the pediatrician on Monday and we can find out a bit more from him.
