Update

Craziness, craziness....that's about how I'd describe the Mitchell household right now! I have officially started back to teaching after being off for 6 months. Was it really that long??!! So far so good on that front. I love the beginning of the year when the students are so well behaved! It may be wishful thinking, but I sure hope it stays this way!
On the health front, there is quite a bit going on. Jim saw the neurologist yesterday and thankfully the dr. didn't jump right to MS as being the culprit. He has ordered a pretty extensive blood workup and Jim also will be going on for a MRI of the brain as well as a scan of the spine. We are praying that those will come back okay. The dr. mentioned possibly a thyroid issue as well as some sort of mucle issue. We'll see! On top of that Jim also went to have a heart stress test done on Friday. Don't panic, just a yearly appointment. Due to Jim's family history they are wanting to monitor him. He got the results today and everything checked out okay. Yipee!
On the health front, part 2.....Mr. Liam likes to definitely be the center of attention in our house. I went to take him to his 6 month well visit last Thursday and they detected a heart murmur! Sooooo, tomorrow morning, Wed., we have to take him to Riley's Children's Hospital here in Indianapolis for a heart ecko. Not too excited about this. I of course thought the worst right from the bat and had a very teary car ride home after the appointment. Now I am in the mode of just hoping for the best and praying that all will come out okay. It's amazing how many poeple I have encountered since the appt. that say they have a heart murmur as well! We will keep you posted as to how that all comes out. I'm hoping that Kallie and I can stay well!

Better run. Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate it.
