This past Monday we had a 2nd MRI to see where we stand on Korbyn's situation.....I got a phone call from the doctor yesterday morning, and it wasn't what I have been praying to hear. Korbyn still has encephalitis (which is swelling of the brain--definately not good). They also discovered 2 more spots that are unidentified as to what they are right now. We will have to go to the Children's Hospital in May for a follow up and I expect another MRI soon after that appointment. It's a mild case, so the dr's aren't overly concerned. He looks and plays like a normal 11 month old, and is actually doing more than he is supposed to for his age. I have faith that God will cure this in time (HOPE that it will be soon).
On another note, Curtis is leaving next weekend to go overseas for 6 months. Not excited about that.... :( I will miss him alot, but so I can still see him everyday, he bought me a new labtop with a built in webcam! :)

Blue Angels
Yesterday we took Korbyn to see the Blue Angels airshow. He is still too little to enjoy that kind of stuff though, but we still all had fun. He is doing alot better. He would be 100% if he didn't catch this dang c
old. He has had a runny nose for the past few days. I took him to the dr but they said it's just allergies. (Everyone has them down here now...even me. YUCK!) Korbyn got a little, tiny sunburn on his face, and I got a sunburn everywhere. Shows how much sunblock really does work. Korbyn had it on (except on his face. Not sure what I was thinking not putting it on his face as soon as we got there, I waited too long I guess, he did have it on, just not at first).Of course it was really windy...so without his hat, this is what he looked like......ha! 
It was funny too cause we had to buy him headphones for his ears, cause the jets fly right over the top of the crowd, and it is LOUD! He looked so cute in his headphones.

Lots of Stuff Going on.....
It seems like we have lived int the hospital and Dr. offices the last 3 weeks....
Dr. offices for the first week because of unexplained fever, never did get an answer as to why he had a fever, followed by a seizure on Sunday night after his fever broke Sunday morning. Got flown to Arkansas Children's Hospital by Med Flight on Monday, and Spent 4 days running tests on him. He was diagnosed with Encephalitis, or inflimation of the brain. The virus he had apparently spread to his brain and that is probably what caused his seizure. I can't tell you how scared I was when my baby stopped breathing in my arms. Even though it wasn't long, it felt like hours before he started breathing again.
So since we thought he was better, we came home this last sunday, 6 days ago, and he was fine, thought he was finally over it. Wednesday morning I heard Korbyn over his monitor wining, so I went to look at him in his room, and he was sleeping, so I left him alone, and went back to bed. He kept wining so I told Curtis I should probably go get him. When I did he was scalding hot. And later in the day I checked his temperature rectally and it was 103.5, so I called his pediatrician and took him in. Since his blood count was 28.6 thousand they told us to go admit him to Driscoll Children's Hospital here in town (the only children's hospital in town). So for the 2nd time...we are back in the hospital. Another spinal tap (lumbar puncture), IV that took them 45 minutes and 3 different nurses to put in ( I was so mad that they kept poking him, without getting a sucessful IV in him). He was screaming so hard he almost made himself throw up. I am surprised I held it together..I wanted to cry for him. They took alot of blood cultures, we still don't have an answer as to what was going on. We were discharged Friday. We go to his pediatrician tomorrow, they are supposed to have our results. So we'll see. For now, he is back to himself. Very cranky though, but I believe it is because he is about to get a TOOTH...HIS FIRST TOOTH! Crazy though, it's on top, and not the middle one on top, it is the top tooth to the left side of his center teeth.
On a brighter note, Korbyn got his first haircut on March 31st! He felt like such a big boy! He did so good too! Until the stylist got the clippers and started using them close to his ears, then he freaked! HA! So you can imagine when she busted out the blow dryer to blow off the loose hair, he freaked again. It looks so adorable. Now his hair isn't in his eyes and hopefully he will stop being called a girl.
