Wednesday Night

Hey everyone,

We went to the E.R. at PCH last night. Ben is going to have an M.R.I. sometime in the next two weeks. We noticed yesterday that his eyelid is drooping on his left side of his face. We don't really know much yet but they said that this can be caused by lesions on his brain pushing on a certain part of his brain that controls that part of his face. This is what the M.R.I. will tell us. His Spinal Taps have been coming back negative for Leukemia cells and it is rare that leukemia would be in his brain without it first being in his spinal fluid so we are praying that it is something less serious. The Doctor also said that sometimes little kids get pinched nerves that can cause this and eventually they grow out of it. We are praying that this is all it turns out to be but we will know more when the M.R.I. is completed.
