Can I Borrow that?

Chris and I love to read!! Fortunately we have been able to share that love with our kids and they also enjoy reading very much and I have to threaten Mclayne every night to put down his book and go to sleep at a decent hour.

Along with that, I like to actually OWN books. I find a lot of used books off of Amazon and I'm thinking I may have to stalk some yard sales this summer and check out some used book stores as well.

To the point. Because I love to read and own books. I also love to loan them.

We loaned the first book in the Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare called CITY OF BONES. There are currently 3 books in the series and I haven't started it yet but would really like to. So if we loaned you this book and it is sitting by your back door so you can grab it the next time you come over will you let me know?

This is what it looks like.

I was able to get a little video of Mclaynes eye "twitching" hopefully the dr can tell more from this. Don't mind the "tribal council" going on in the background. We were watching Survivor:)

Seizures

Two years ago next month Mclayne started having seizures. They are not the typical seizure. His mouth goes numb, and then the right side of his face twitches for 10-15 seconds and he drools and then slowly the sensation returns and he is able to talk again. The entire time this "episode" occurs he is conscious he can let me know he is having one he can stand, walk, respond to questions and we have been carefully documenting each one.

In June of 2007 he had a CAT Scan and MRI and an EEG. The neurologist at Primary Children's diagnosed him with Epileptic Simple Partial Seizure disorder. So these "episodes" occur every 4-6 months and he will have 4-6 over a week and then he will go 4-6 months without having any more.

Last week he was talking to me and his right eye was blinking really fast while his left eye remained normal. I called the neurologist at Primary's to find out what he thought we should do. In the meantime I did some research and they possibilities I discovered were Simple Partial Seizures (weird) or Tourettes Syndrome.

The Dr called me back on Monday and they wanted to see him immediately. So Mclayne and I spent the afternoon at Primary's on Tuesday. He had a sleep deprived EEG, and then we met with the dr who told us that this new EEG looked better than the last one and he is pretty sure it is a seizure thing and not Tourettes because he can't replicate the motion and usually tics can be replicated.

I realize this post is really long and your retinas are bleeding but I really wanted to document this stuff for posterity of course.

The dr is ok with him playing football which made Mclayne really happy (and me too).

Mclayne is such a good kid and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. He is really funny (I wonder where he gets that? ) and I am so so grateful that the Dr had good news for us in the sense that things are looking better instead of worse.

Next trip to Primary's is scheduled for June when Chandler will get his yearly EKG.

Another Blog.....

I created a Blog for my website. The site is a little bit difficult to make frequent changes to. So by creating the blog I am able to let all of my customers know about giveaways I am sponsoring as well as getting opinions on new and not so new products. Check it out and become a follower. I will be doing a drawing at the end of the month for some free stuff but only for followers of the blog.

Hippity Hoppity

We had a fun and crazy Easter weekend. The kiddos were especially fun this year, we can feel ourselves entering a new phaze in our family since we don't have any "babies" anymore and we are really enjoying it. So here are some pics from our fun and crazy weekend.




Check out the blog for the website I'm going to start giving stuff away soon!!
