A Living Puzzle

Just when we think things are under control and that we've figured out what was causing something...Ethan's body does something to show us that he is and will remain a great mystery.  It happened last April when he had to undergo emergency brain surgery because his Dandy-Walker cyst resealed and to much lesser degree (thankfully), he keeps doing it with his teeth.  He lost his first one in September of 2010, several in December 2010, one in June 2011...and now one in February 2012.

This time he lost an eye-tooth.  :(  Lorelei is 6 and 1/2 and still has not lost one of these teeth!  But at least Ethan is a bit older this time and it has been a while since he lost one.  I'm still not too happy about it though.  The tooth is the same as the rest - no root left.  We had hoped that the extra vitamin D he gets was helping to stop him from losing teeth early...  I found out this week that his vitamin D level is normal which is good news though.

On another note, I don't often brag about the kids...but I'm going to now.  ;)  I found out recently that Lorelei can read at a high level Grade 2...she has one more level to go before she hits the start of Grade 3...and she is only in Grade 1.  We're pretty proud of her!
