No Pants for David, please

David had another MRI on Wednesday. This one was full head and spine. They are looking for tumors along the optic nerves and auditory nerves, as well as monitoring how his other tumor's are growing. It has been hard not to focus on all that could go wrong. It is amazingly difficult to stay balanced, getting the tests, monitoring all that needs to be monitored, but not letting it dominate our lives.

Yesterday we went to the pediatrician for a normal checkup for both Loren and David. Both are developing normally. Loren was very brave through all four of her shots. The appointment was at 7:00 pm, so we got home quite late. Apparently David fell sound asleep after eating and before we got him into pajamas but after we removed his trousers. This morning, I noticed him lounging with Vernon in his polo shirt. I asked David, "Boy, why aren't you wearing your pants?" He loudly declared, "I hate them."
