Results of Carl's MRI
Carl and I both spoke with the VA about his test results. All his lab work came back normal. His Prolactin levels are where they need to be. The test on his kidneys came back normal. Last, the test on his MRI showed the tumor is still present on his pituitary gland, though it appears to have shrunk. This is a good thing. We still don’t know why Carl’s experiencing some of the same symptoms…perhaps it’s because the tumor isn’t completely gone. But, this is a good report. Next, he has to have a glucose test. We’ll let you know the results of that when we find anything out. That should be in the next few weeks. Praise God!

Update on the Wilson Family
CARL
We haven’t received information back as to Carl’s MRI. It’s likely we won’t hear something this week. Otherwise, he’s fine.
ANDI
I’m fine! There’s nothing going on with me. I love my job. I’m busy all the time. I’m down to two jobs and maybe to one soon (probably not if I have anything to do with it).
SHAWN
He’s over the flu and working to raise his grades back to an acceptable level. He’s doing really great. He’s so smart. His attitude has been awesome. I don’t think he’s playing football, anymore. I think he’s just playing the mascot role. He’s about 6’ tall now. It’s interesting trying to lecture someone taller than you (maybe I could call Dad for suggestions on how to handle those situations). Shawn, to the last of my knowledge, has a sweet girlfriend. I guess it’s going pretty well.
PARKER
He’s so smart. We have parent-teacher conferences next Tuesday. I’m excited to see what the teacher has to say. All we ever hear from people is how smart he is. He wants to know how everything works. He’s learning Spanish and wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. Well, that or Spiderman. But, since he can’t climb walls. He’s decided upon settling for a paleontologist. Oh, and he has about five girlfriends – Madeline, Vicki, Isabella, Bella, and Shannon (a fifth grader). He’s already playing the field (thanks, Carl).
KATE
She rocks. She’s also high maintenance…mega high maintenance. She won’t get out of bed until you come get her. She’ll walk right past her drink, sit down, and then ask someone to get it for her. Don’t worry, both Carl and I are suckered. We try, but don’t get too far. Oh, and her daycare provider told me this morning that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree (referencing Parker). Shawna (daycare provider) asked Kate to pick up her toys. She responds with, “I need a big, strong boy to help me pick them up.” Good thing Jonah was nearby. He rushed to her side and helped.
