It has been hectic,crazy, and almost insane how much is going on right now! Here is a quick update on everyone!
Addyson-
she is getting sooo big! 13 lbs roughly and wearing 6 month sleepers because she is soooo tall! She is content sleeping in her swing which is causing the battery industry to gain a lot of income! Smiling and cooing she is adorable and growing way to fast! Its almost hard to believe that she will be 4 months on April 1st- almost like a cruel april fools joke!
Taylor-
we have had a lot of excitement in the last week- We had known that Tay had been having petite mal seizures but never did I ever think she would have a full blown seizure ( grand mal) I have never been more scared nor had so much adrenaline - I didnt even think about what was happening I went into mother mode and all that mattered was that she was okay.... thus started our 2 day stay in the hospital most of it tay spent sedated. They ran an eeg and a MRI and both came back normal which meant no seizure disorder! I was glad and relieved but at the same time I needed to know what was causing the seizures. When we left the hospital I didnt want to put her on medication yet due to the risks... But when she had a seizure on the way home and then another one yesterday before nap and then another one last night I didnt think twice before I called the neurologist and requested the medicine... He took another look at the mri and called me back late last night to let me know something that has changed our lives... she has fluid built up around her brain... from when her head was deformed when she was an infant... I am outraged... her pediatrician told us all along that she didnt need to be seen that it was all cosmetic and our insurance would not cover it... I wonder now if they will cover it? grrr.... so friday we are off to the hospital for them to drain the fluid around her brain... Im not allowed back and I have been informed that if something goes wrong they will be rushing her into surgery... so prayers please for friday! They have also said since her brain has not stopped growing they can not put a temporary drain tube in. so this means that every 2 months we will have to go in for them to drain the fluid. Thus, this also means she will be in therapy at least till she is in 4th grade if not longer... I am trusting God through all of this that he will help me take care of my baby girl! She is a fighter has been from day 1 and I know that she will continue to fight!
Nick-
Officially tests for staff on the 12th of May just 2 days before we get there! I can not wait for us to be a family again even it is only going to be 3 weeks...
Me-
I had my wisdom teeth removed on friday and I am still slowly beginning to eat again... it was a little more painful then I thought it would be...
Alright that is all for now! talk soon!
Thats great news about Tay....it's a good thing they found out about her brain. Don't worry she's in my thoughts and prayers for Friday. That's wonderful to hear about Addy growing big and strong just like her mommy and sister :) It's great to hear you get to see Nick soon as well. You've been doing a fantastic job raising those girls. You've come a long way and I'm so proud of you.
