Hospitals

So this past Friday Mikee was admitted into the hospital because his seizures were uncontrollable and left his whole left side paralyzed for 3 days. We went through the normal procedures...Go to the ER, give him the shot to help control seizures (which never really works), watch Elmo in grouch land (every time we are there) wait for a few hours for the doctor to come in and tell us that they have consulted his normal doctors in Seattle children's and they both came up with the conclusion that they have no clue on whats going on with mikee, that the seizures are more sever but the tests are all coming up normal.So they want to admitted him for a night to monitor. Mikee seizes alittle more. Screams because he is a 3 year old who is trapped to a bed with wires and an IV and doesn't understand while he can play.Then we go to bed and wait for the doctor to come back in the morning to tell us nothing has changed, that there isn't much they can do for mikee, that the doctor in Seattle is now passing on Mikees case to yet ANOTHER doctor, and that we can either stay in the hospital for another night or bring mikee home. We decided to bring him home so we can monitor him and so he can be comfy. Fun way to spend your weekend, No? What i don't understand is how can we be apart for 2 amazing hospitals, and have 25 doctors working with him, and not one of them can figure this thing out....I'm sick of hearing that mikees condition is a rare one, that its a Mystery... not the most comforting thing for a mother to hear. I know that God is in control, I understand that, but i would love for him to clue me in on a few things, that would be nice!

Update


So this past year i have been HORRIBLE on keeping this thing updated, i feel like it has flown by and I'm just running to keep up. Anywho, here is a few updates that is going on with our life:

Mike started school this week and LOVES everything about it. At the moment he is the only child in the afternoon class but at the end of September he will be getting a few more classmates.. Since it is a special needs Preschool they are making sure there is only a few kids in the class. But Mikee doesn't seem to care, he loves all the one on one attention, he is a HAM!

This month i lost two of my grandparents, My grandpa on my mom's side and then my grandma on my dads...all in the same week. Kinda rough! I ended up having to go down to Oregon to help my parents with the planning and just to be there for them. I was there with Mikee for two weeks and we shared an air mattress...Lets just say I'm not looking forward to sharing a bed with him anytime soon...he actually shoved me off the bed a few times....

Mikee is now three! we celebrated his birthday on the river at my parents place! We even took him out on the tube (With a life vest, Andy and I, and we were going about one mile per hour) but we were going so slow we were just sinking. He thought it was hilarious though and couldn't stop laughing when Andy and I alone went on the tube...there was ALOT of shrieking going on, and not just from me lol

Still not pregnant...i go back and forth if i think its time or not. We are not trying but i know that we want another kid soon...i just don't know when. I don't know if i could handle another miscarriage.

Andy got a Promotion at his new job! He seems really happy there! who wouldn't love to work in a bookstore?!

Mikee is still full of seizures......nothing much has changed on that front except for they are getting more sever......Still a happy camper though. Right now as i type he is posing in his mirror with his helmet cracking himself up!

Oh i woke up this morning to a bare naked child playing with his toys and peeing on the floor...fun....

And last but not least! I WANT IT TO BE TRUE FALL WEATHER!!! no more of the 80's stuff, i want it to be cold, i want my cute sweaters and my pumpkin spice! And to decorate my house:)

Alrighty, i will try to be better at this stuff! Have a great day
