Jonathan

Thursday, September 2, Clay luckily didn't have to leave as early for work. He went to get the kids up for the morning prayer as I finished getting ready. He said that Jonathan didn't want to get up for the second day in a row. He carried him out of bed and Jonathan was complaining his head at the "shakes" again. We got him downstairs and he tried to walk, stumbling into everything. He was soon vomiting as well.

He had a similar episode a few months prior when Clay was gone to NTC. It resolved itself within a few hours, after he had eaten and rested a bit. Daniel had a routine checkup that morning so I got the older girls and Clay off and took the boys and Samantha and headed to the doctors office. They were able to get an appointment for Jonathan after Daniel's. The doctor evaluated Jonathan and sent us to the ER for a CT scan. He also was very honest about some of the possible causes which I appreciate. It was a little scary for both of us so I told him that we were going to take him over to go on a spaceship ride and he would have to hold very still.

The ER doctor there looked Jonathan over. By this point, Jonathan was feeling better, almost himself again so they decided it would be better to schedule a MRI instead. Jonathan was pretty upset that he didn't get his spaceship ride. So tomorrow, we're headed down to Georgetown to get a MRI done. We've told him he's going on the spaceship ride now and won't be able to eat anything so his stomach doesn't get upset during take off. He'll have to be sedated and have a needle in his arm for the contrast for the MRI. We're trying to be positive and hope that it isn't anything too serious but would appreciate any prayers in his behalf.
