We are waiting on an MRI appointment, but it will definitely by surgery. We are hoping for arthroscopic which is done through the nose and is much less invasive. It will depend upon what all is involved and how large the tumor is. I will update you guys as soon as we get some results. He is hoping that they will do the surgery over spring break which is the week of the 18th. I don't want to bring him down so I didn't tell him that we probably can't schedule brain surgery that quickly. He is just thinking about all the class he will have to miss instead of getting better. In his major just missing one day in upper level classes is a huge issue.

Bless his heart.

He seems to be focusing on getting past this which is a good place for his state of mind.

Everyone,

I need to ask that for right now until further notice that no one ship any more eggs to me. My son has been diagnosed with Cushing's disease which is caused by a tumor on the pituitary. We are waiting to get in for an MRI to see how bad it is. It should have been caught 8 years ago when I first starting taking him to the doctor for his weight, but all they saw was a "fat" kid and said he needed to go on a diet and get more exercise. They didn't listen when I said he didn't eat junk food, drink sodas or even consume that many calories. I knew differently because this was a kid that had always been tall and light. He was always 98 percentile on height and about 25 percentile on his weight through his early years. Unfortunately we moved away from his pediatrician who would have noticed the difference. He is now 21 only 5' 4", and finally diagnosed after gaining 150 lbs in about a year and a half.

I will send all my swaps but until I know what is going to happen and how long the recovery is going to be I don't want to have to deal with brooder chicks after the ones I have coming in right now.

I am so sorry Crystal, if you need ANYTHING...you let me know, I AM close enough that I can and will help in any way.

on a side note, and I don't know that you would even care to know this at this point...I am now the proud mama to 4 Faverolles, 3 Blues and 2 Buttercups! 75% hatch from Crystals eggs y'all!

Crystal,
I am so sorry for what you are going through. We went through so many things with our daughter that I truly empathize with you. It is so frustrating when YOU know something is wrong, but no one will listen. Thank God they have diagnosed it and he will now get help. I will be praying and place your family on our prayer list at church and school.

That is great. Let's hope the next set do as well. I have SBB running out of my ears because they lay so well, so any time you are over this way, I can give you more to get your flock started. Three pullets are averaging 18 eggs a week. They forage and will basically feed themselves as soon as the grass greens up and bugs come out. I would keep a laying pen of them if they were LF instead of bantams.

What cuties! I am including your son in that. He is so careful.

Crystal, you and your family are in our prayers. Let me know if you need anything, even just an ear . You have a lot of people pulling for you here.
