Dillan accepting his diploma. After threatening to turn his graduation garb into a wizard outfit complete with hat, wand and a lightening bolt scar.... Or changing his name card, so that when it was his turn they would read his name as, "Frodo Baggins!", everything went smoothly.
I was nervous there for a minute.
Although, I have to say that when he left my house he was in a shirt and tie. When he took off his graduation robe he was wearing his Jimmy Hendrix costume from Halloween.
Oh well, at least he didn't wear the wig!
The dignified graduate!
Dillan and Brian Stevens,his partner in crime through-out the years.
(Notice the blank spot where his diploma should be?
Turn in the graduation robe, then you get your real diploma.)
Congratulations Dillan!

Yesterday was kind-of crazy! It began in the emergency room with Austin.
We had been there since a little before 11:00 pm. We didn't leave until 4 am.
We were almost certain that she had appendicitis.
But after 5 hours, an ultra sound and a CT scan it was determined that it was NOT appendicitis. We left not knowing what was causing the pain, maybe an ovarian cyst,
but who knows.
But at the follow up with our own wonderful Dr. Isaacson, who reviewed the results of all of her tests, we are much releaved to find out that it is most likely
Mesenteric adenitis
which is, a self-limited inflammatory process that affects the mesenteric lymph nodes in the right lower quadrant. Its clinical presentation mimics that of acute appendicitis.
Why didn't they just tell us that at the emergency room?
So, the good news. No surgery for Austin, just lots of rest and pain medication.
