Have to wait to see the nuerosergeon to find out what it means. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers please. I'm sure it's going to be nothing to worry about. Just another "bump" I call it. :) http://communities.friendsofquinn.com/share/c/96615/1586/abnormal-mri http://communities.friendsofquinn.com/share/c/96615/1542/family Sun, 11 Apr 2010 07:59:31 -0400 shanny In just a few short months our oldest daughter will be starting college.

He is doing it as a book project in school.He's in 10th grade. I called his teacher and she thought it would be a great project for him, besides he wouldn't have read it on his own:) Mom knows how to get things done! Well he is enjoying it anyway and I'm sure he will learn alot and see that someone else has had the same experiences and feelings as him.
