Visit to Dr. Gross

Curt has been having some minor headaches around his left eye and above it, so we e-mailed Dr. Gross on Sunday and were able to see him this morning. We didn't realize that Curt had both an MRI and PET scan of his head on November 10. Dr. Gross said the PET scan showed there is still some "activity" in his head, but they are not sure what it is yet. As long as Curt's headaches do not interfere with his lifestyle, he does not need to do anything else. He thinks Curt has a high tolerance for pain. Curt did take an Advil on Saturday and might take some ibuprofen or Tylenol, etc., when needed. We are having a nice visit with all of our family. The Bogners arrived on Saturday and we are staying at the Bakers until tomorrow when we will go to Corvallis for Thanksgiving. The weather was nice on Sunday and Monday. Sunday we visited the Vista House (very windy), Multnomah Falls, and the Bonneville Dam and Fish Hatchery in the Columbia Gorge. Maddie has kindergarten Monday through Wednesday this week. Yesterday afternoon we took a short hike at the nearby Tryon Creek State Park and spent some time in their Nature Center. Today we might visit the Oregon Trail Museum. Jef and Jason are going to the Civil War game on Saturday and the rest of us will come back here. The Bogners leave on Sunday.
