Day 101...Western Idaho Fair

We started off the day by going to the pediatric neurologist.  I wish I could report that we had an answer...a magic solution, but we don't.  The problem still isn't clear and they ordered more tests.  The EEG was fairly inconclusive, other than it did rule out a seizure disorder like epilepsy.  The EEG did show a little bit slower brainwaves, which is in line with his in-ability to hit his developmental milestones at the rate.  So not great news, but not horrible either.  We will continue on the testing path.  Poor little man had to have a blood draw...he was a super trooper for that!  They will test chromosomes and genetic markers.  The neurologist said most of the time these tests come back with nothing, but it helpful to rule things out.  Rhys will have a sedated MRI tomorrow morning.  I am not looking forward to this, but this is necessary to find a root cause and move on.  So keep the little man in your thoughts Wednesday morning!

To clear our heads, and have some good old fashioned hillbilly fun...we headed down Chinden to the Western Idaho Fair.  The kids ate SO much, that when we left Rob and I were still hungry.  Bodie and McCall "shared"  everything with us, and by sharing I mean they at 75%.  They loved the deep fried fury that we embarked upon them.

The kids loved the petting zoo.  Bodie is now convinced we should get a goat.  Ya, that is just what we need!

Then McCall and Bodie persuaded us to let them go on rides.  The boats, Mater's jeeps, and the fun house were the hits for the night.

Sue Sue picked out a light sword for the kids, and we said goodbye to the fair...for another 5 years?!?
