Week 3: Thing #6: Photo Mash-ups


My photo mashup used an image from my son's MRI made into a horror movie poster. It seems to capture my current mood. I realize this has nothing to do with libraries, but it has everything to do with my summer. My little guy had a couple of seizures so now we are in medical purgatory running a bunch of tests, looking at data, talking with doctors, learning more than I ever wanted to know about brain anatomy. At this point, nothing major has been found. Developmentally, he is fine (slightly ahead of the curve, brags his mom). But the neurologist is concerned. They keep finding minor abnormalities in the anatomy of one lobe of his brain. That is not something a parent wants to hear. So, I am applying all my good research skills on my personal I-Search. Below is a photo of him with skin for comparisons sake.

Well, your little guy with skin is a doll. The mashup is cool, but he is so much cuter. Hope all goes well with him.
Mashups are great fun. Good luck.

Your little one is very good looking and good luck with all the medical stuff. Hurting for your kid is about the most difficult thing of all.
Do the 2.0 stuff for some fun distractions when you have the time.

Talk about a creative application! Quite a blend of agony and humor. I hope that your I-Search is proving fruitful and that your son's health is stabilizing.

I loved the mashup using your son's MRI. I agree that Barcelona was amazing. We were there the end of June. I hope you and your son have some positive answers about his health.
