Halloween, Sickness and CAT Scan Results
We did not dress Molly up for Halloween...I figure that until she can actually walk there's no point in carrying her around the neighbourhood to get candy that none of us need to eat. A couple of the neighbourhood kids came by though so Molly did get to see some cute costumes before she went to bed. She didn't seem to impressed or scared or even interested but oh well she is only 8 months old.
She has a cold right now and is drooling up a storm. Many people have told me that a cold is yet another sign of teething. No teeth yet...we will see.
I caught her cold and it has knocked me on my butt. I couldn't even get out of bed this morning so Noel had to stay home to look after us. I'm starting to feel a bit more human now but who knows how I'll feel once the sun goes down (why do all sicknesses get worse in the dark?).
In other news, we heard back from the Neurologist today regarding Molly's CT (or CAT?) Scan. They did find something small (perhaps a cyst) in the basal ganglia area of her brain. We have to take her for an MRI in the next couple of weeks (which she will be put under for). We are shocked. I really didn't think they'd find anything. I never even really thought that was a possibility. The doctor assures us that we have no reason to worry yet but how can you not? I'm just going to try to not think about it as much as possible and hope for the best. She is happy and active so how bad can this thing really be?
It sure is hard transitioning her to the dayhome and thinking about going back to work with this going on.
