Headaches

So, after having no headaches his whole life, here we are with 3 headaches in two weeks.

Any other time Jacob has had a headache, it has signaled an oncoming illness. So last week (November 1) when he woke up with a headache, I kept him home from school anticipating the worst. By mid-morning he seemed to be fine - no drugs needed.

Tonight I laid down in bed with him for a few minutes and he said "I hate headaches!" So he had another headache and informed me that he had one earlier in the week at school. Tonight's headache was over the right eye, up past the hairline. He said the one earlier this week was there and a little bit at the back of his head. And the headache last week was more at the back of his head.

It's probably just him growing up, hormones kicking, etc. I have always had headaches, as has my mother. His dad gets headaches. It's all natural and I'm surprised it hasn't occured before.

But what do I really want to do? Run him down to the doctor right now for an MRI to make sure everything is ok! I don't know what I would do without my little man (not so little anymore - 13 in a couple more weeks). I pray that God keeps his hand on him and takes care of him.
