An Update on the kids

Last week we met with a neurosurgeon to discuss Kaybri's recent MRI. We had been told by her regular neurologist that the arachnoid cyst (which was first discovered in Jan. 2006) had grown only a small amount and that it was nothing to worry about. The neurosurgeon thought otherwise. The cyst has grown quite a bit in just a year and a half and has started putting pressure on her skull, thus starting to change its shape. If it continues to grow it will probably put more pressure on the brain, so they will need to go in and drain it. We will have a repeat scan in about 6 months to see if there has been any change. They say there is always a possibility that the cyst could be causing Kaybri to have seizures, but they don't have any reason to believe it is for sure. She is having more and more seizures (3 last week), so the more that happens the more we want to just go in and get the cyst taken care of. The seizures haven't stopped her from being our crazy, hyper, smart, and of course sweet little girl.


Paxton will be 9 months old on the 12th of this month. We are having so much fun with him. He is always so excited to play with his big sister, and vice versa. The past month he has learned so many new things. He has learned how to crawl, pull himself up to things, and climb the stairs. I was counting on him to be my calm, mellow child, but he is beginning to turn into Kaybri!! yikes!





Paxton also got his 1st teeth!

These pictures are SO adorable! Especially the one of Kaybri at the top..she is just SUCH a cutie! I can't believe how big Paxton is either and we have never seen him :o( You will have to let us know when you come for a visit so we can see you guys! I hope everything works out with Kaybri's cyst. You'll have to keep us posted on the news!
