Got the MRI news- the good news is that Micah's brain is in excellent working condition, so I will accept no excuses for him not using it. :) The other news is that he has a cyst in one of his sinuses. I'm pretty sure that when this is inflamed it explains the headaches. It explains the nosebleeds. It's falling into place. I don't know what can be done about it but the doc referred me to an ENT specialist. Do we take it out? Monitor it? I don't know. I will research sinus cysts. It definitely explaines A LOT!!!! The headaches, headaches, headaches. And he always pointed to that particular sinus, too.
Next step is finding out what the heck to do. Meanwhile Micah normally has no headaches. Has been having problems at school and finally today he and I and the counselor talked. He has been bullied but doesn't tell when he is. He just takes it. Well I don't want him to just take it. This boy named Roosevelt. And another boy named Ray Chang. I eat at Ray's parents' restaurant a lot. I love that place. I'll see Ray working the cash register like a little man, but he changes his colors at school! He provokes Micah by saying stuff to him, then Micah says something back, then Ray punches or shoves Micah. (sigh) With Roosevelt and another kid named Maron it's been kind of ongoing for years. Maron's been better but Roosevelt is still all up in his face a lot. Anyway DT's, time outs, and all that seem not to have alleviated the problem. For a while Roosevelt was detained after school because he kept bothering Micah after school, threatening to knock him over on his bike. Well the counselor brought it up today with the principal and teachers involved letting them know what's really going on and that the consequences for this stuff have to be greater. And they need to start detaining Roosevelt again. My son has the right to go to school in peace. Forget the boys will be boys stuff. I'm tired of this.
