Health Updates and Summer Fun

First the health updates.... Presley has recently gone to an opthamologist and the neurologist to determine if her eye incident was an ocular migraine or something more serious. The opthamologist appointment went excellent and no concerns raised. For the neurologist, she had to have an EEG and an MRI scan done. Presley is an amazing trooper. I have included some pictures from the EEG appointment. We had to wake her up at 4 a.m. and then she had wires attached to her head to monitor her brain activity for anything unusual. She was a rock star and went to sleep as requested. EEG looked great. The next day she had an MRI to look at her blood vessels and her overall head inside. The screens did show some prominent lymphoid tissue, which may not be unusual for a child of her age but they are sending the scans to a pediatric neurologist for additional review. More to come... After her great appointment and attitude, we upgraded her bike (which was much overdue) as a reward. We enjoyed a nice family bike ride and finished off with a kayak ride and swim on Lake Minnetonka. Other summer fun activities included a picture from Canyon's Top Dog Hockey Camp, one of his favorite camps this summer, and a picture from the General Mills family picnic at our Technical Center where the kids enjoyed games, rock climbing, bouncies, Wii, waterballon sling shots, live music, good food, prizes and the Pillsbury Doughboy! Last week, Mom also had her benign lump on her shoulder removed. Surgery went excellent and the scar should be minimal.
