I know many of you know just what is going on with Peanut, but Vanessa said it was ok to post this so everyone would know. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Tests are difficult for any kids, but even more so for one like Peanut cuz you just never know how meds/tests/dr's are going to affect him. Vanessa is going to have her hands full tomorrow.
Here is what she wrote:
Wednesday (tomorrow) Peanut will have his brain scans and testing done at Children's hospital. His little head has elongated over the past few months causing some concern. He will also be tested for seizure activity and fluid forming on his brain. They are hoping to find the reasons for the extreme night terrors...believing it may not all be the result of the autism. Although we have been anxious to have the test results, I have to tell you that I am VERY antsy tonight. I have to wake him up at 4am (joy joy) and he cannot have anything to eat after 5 am. The tests will start around 7~ish and the last test is scheduled for 11am. That is a LONG time to be without our sippy cup, and I am not looking forward to it. He will also be under anesthesia for several of the tests and that is always difficult. So..once again I am calling on the prayer warriors to hold our baby up in prayer as he goes through these tests and the experience of the long day. He doesn't do well when his routine is change and is terrified of the hospital....so I am asking the Lord to really give him comfort. Although I am sure we wont have any info tomorrow, I will update you all as soon as the results are in. Thank you all...Peanutie is sending you a BIG hug!

Got an email from Vanessa this morning. At 4am, no one really slept much and they were getting ready to head out. Vanessa is quite nervous about these tests today. I am sure they are near the end of the tests if everything went well so I hope we hear form her soon.
