Day 94 and SNOW!

On Thursday we had Bridger’s eye exam. She suggested we try some new drops for his eyes that we can pick up over the counter. At the end of the appointment she saw some swelling of his optic nerve in each eye. This will not affect his vision but is usually caused by pressure on the brain. They didn’t go in to any specific reasons of why or what could be causing the pressure but I am sure you can make an assumption like I did. At any rate they made us stay for a catscan that confirmed the swelling of the optic nerve but only in his right eye. They couldn’t see anything that would be causing pressure. I asked the Dr. if this is something that he could have just always had? He said it was a possibility but they had to be absolutely sure nothing else was causing it. So they got us in this morning at 6:00 am for an MRI. The MRI will give them a closer look. They said if they saw something urgent they would call us today. So far we haven’t heard from them so no news is good news. We are a little concerned because obviously pressure on the brain is not normal. So if you could all send an extra prayer this way we would appreciate it. Bridge was in good spirits about going to the hospital four times this week but he really didn’t want to go under anesthesia for the MRI so I told him to just try and stay awake, try and count to fifty. He maid it to a whoppin 2 and he was out like a light. It was incredibly fast. When he woke up he found out it was SNOWING!!!! Yes it has been snowing all day here. We were told the last time it snowed here was in 2004. I told everyone that it was Bridger’s fault he because he prayed for snow last week. Today he said “Jesus answered my prayer, he loves me the very best”. When we got back to the trailer we had a quick snowball fight. Bridger was so happy and a good aim. Then we found out we had no heat. Our electricity was out and our back up battery was not working so we spent three hours in the office of the RV Center to stay warm. Half of the building had heat so we played cards. Bridger is the champion of the Matching game and Go Fish. Below is another post about Bridger’s past and how he has made it this far.
