Good news, but yet, nothing much else

Will had another EEG yesterday. It was really just a routine one, to make sure his dosage increase was doing it's job. Lee had a test to give, so I had to go without my reinforcement. Then Amy woke up coughing, so she declared she couldn't go to her friend's house because she would get her friend sick. I don't think Amy is sick- I think it's allergy/ this crazy hot then cold weather related. She doesn't have any other symptoms. Anyhow, I kept asking her if she'd go and play at Alida's, but she nearly cried every time, so in the end I just brought her with me.  Lee and I both gave her a huge lecture before going... the goal is to get Will to sleep and I couldn't leave to take her to the potty, give her a snack or anything else. I am proud to say that Amy did really, really well. There were some stuffed animals there and she just rocked them and watched a movie they had playing. Will never fell asleep, unfortunately, but he did lay really still and rest. So that was as good as we could get. The nurse called back today and said it was a good EEG, everything was normal and there wasn't any activity (which is good in the neurology world). So YAY!! This means his medicine is working and is at the right dosage. Double YAY!

When we got home, we got a shipment of diapers! YAY- we needed those! I get mine through Amazon... I really like their subscribe and save program... it's the huge box (like from Sam's) at a lesser cost and once a month automatically shipped right to my door. This was the first time I also got diapers for little Tyler. Figured I should start stocking up! And the 2 boxes of diapers and box of wipes provided a great play area for the kids!



Amy is hiding in the big brown box. :)


Thankfully both of my kids really love books. Here they are in their "reading box." There's nothing like a cardboard box!

That's about it for now. I finally managed to clean the kitchen and the living room.... won't Lee be surprised!! hahaha. He's been gone the past 2 evenings and instead of cleaning- I crafted! hahaha. He actually had the opportunity to see the past Supreme Court Justine, Sandra Day O'Connor speak last night. He said she was a neat, feisty old lady and he loved hearing about some supreme court stuff he didn't know. He got in line 90 mins before the presentation and was number 159.... they only took the first 250. Wow! She was popular! He had a good time though, and I'm glad he went (he wanted to come home and help me out, but I put the kids to bed at 6:30 and told him to stay.) I appreciate him wanting to help me, but I also know he really wanted to see her.

Everything worked out well- and actually Will slept from 6:30 last night to 6am this morning. WOW- THAT was a first!!! Oh AND yesterday marked the first month that Will hasn't had a seizure!! Yesterday was a wonderful day of firsts around here! :)

  3. Glad the test went well!!! Glad too that Amy was such a big girl and handled herself so well during all the time it took. Amy sure is a good girl. I'm sure you and Lee are happy all looked good. They sure have enjoyed the boxes. As I have said before--it's the best toy you can give a kid. Love those boxes. Love to you all, Gram
