David has Myoclonus (involuntary muscle contractions) which is affecting both arms, causing them to jerk/twitch continuously. This came on all the sudden over the weekend. Nathan noticed it when the guys were having communion as a family at church Sunday evening. I had had an excellent day and thought I better stay home instead of ending a good thing with my back.
The myoclonus is a symptom of something. The doctors do not know yet what it is. So David has had blood work performed this week (at least 6 viles) and a MRI on his brain. The report came back that it is normal :) He has seen his regular doctor and a neurologist. He is not feeling well and some of the medicine they are trying has a sedation effect on him, although, he has not been able to sleep well. He had a second MRI Thursday morning on his neck and a follow-up appointment with the neurologist. When we saw the Neurologist there was not any answers except to confirm that the scans were normal as well as all the lab work he had done. Dr. Baker will be consulting a Movement Disorder Doctor in Round Rock affiliated with Scott & White since she does not know what to do next. She is trying to keep him comfortable with some seizure medicine, although, he is not seizing.
In the midst of all of this David received an e-mail saying he has been accepted at the College of Santa Fe. We have a trip planned to Santa Fe soon. She told us to go ahead and go and just call our regular doctor if anything changes. It may be awhile before we can actually see the doctor in Round Rock if we even have to go. The dr. in Round Rock may be able to just recommend some more tests or something. We need prayer for the doctors to know what to do next and for my son to be flexible in his plans if needed. He has a piece of 3 “D” art going on to state next week also, and he wants to be in Clear Lake to defend it. Whether he is there or not it will move onto state but he wants to be there.

Daniel Mr. Haney for the day
KTAB reported on April Fool's Day:
New Tech High students got a chance to fill in for their teachers, and experienced what it was like to be in charge of a classroom.
Students who did the switch said they now see how hard it is to be a teacher and have a new found appreciation for all the hard work they do.
School Director, John Martinez, says it was a great way for students to bond with their teachers and make sure they felt comfortable enough to talk with them about any difficulty at school.
The students got to stay in their switched roles all day.
