Welcome to our crazy life!
For years friends and family have told me to write a book about some of the wild, funny, challenging and (at times) unbelieveable events in my family's life. I decided a blog would be a good way to get my feet wet...so here goes! I was NOT an English major so don't critique.

The night we got home she told us her head hurt around midnight. We propped her bed up and she made it through the night. Next morning she woke up and said "my head hurts," then threw up. Gave zofran, got throw up bowl and headed to the Dr. Still vomiting in dr office. Dr. Sood looks at me and is thinking exactly what I am - there is no way we can sit and watch her live like this indefinately while this may or may not resolve itself. We made a plan to find the BEST doctor in the world who specializes in pseudotumor and get her in to see him or her. I have to make sure this is really what she has...still wanting to rule out some other serious stuff. Dr. Sood worked aggressively that day and the next to get records, films, etc to the doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus Ohio. They have the first and only dept. devoted to this condition in PEDS. They will call us tomorrow and tell us if they think she is a candidate and when they can work her in. We will have to drive / can't fly bc of intracranial pressure. Not looking forward to a 14 hour car ride (one way) with a sick child, but we will do whatever we have to. Today is the 3rd day she has been headache free so maybe she is getting over it? We will still pursue another opion because this is a condition that can come and go.
