Iced In!



We have been home bound this past week due to LOTS and LOTS of ice that hit Cincinnati. We have been one of the lucky ones that didn't lose power (thank goodness because Ben's equipment needs power to work and the battery back-up doesn't last too long). Over 70,000 houses lost power on Wednesday and some still don't have it back yet. Grandma Deb was over for most of the week to help out since some of the nurses couldn't make it out because of the weather or power outages. It has been so nice having the extra company and help.

Next week, Ben will get another cat scan of his brain (he gets one every three months) to see how his enlarged ventricles look (they are enlarged because he had a stroke at birth). We are praying that everything is stable and that he is able to get the cat scan without any anesthesia - usually Ben cooperates if they have a light show. Let's hope this one works out that way too and that the results of the scan show his brain fluid and ventricles are stable.
