Lauren's first day back to school was uneventful, which is the way we like it. From what I heard, Lauren's friend Gracie took charge. She told all the other kids that this was her friend Lauren and that she doesn't have any hair (Lauren wore a hat to school). Lauren took off her hat and said that her hair is growing back though, and then she let the other kids feel the stubbles on her head. I am happy to hear that Gracie has taken Lauren under her wing. Thank you Gracie!

We are getting ready for Lauren's MRI. The only thing is that Lauren just got her ears pierced on Monday and she can't wear any metal during her MRI since the MRI machine is a BIG magnet. The same reason I can't bring my wallet into the MRI room when I help Lauren on to the table (my credit cards and ATM card get de-magnetized). Hopefully it won't hurt too much getting her earrings back in. Hopefully we'll be able to put them back in before she wakes up.
