Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to EAT and spend time with family. That is the time that we get to have time with my extended family. I get to see my aunts and uncles and cousins that I don't see anytime of the year. We went to my aunts house this year and had a good time. They got to see how much Cameron loves to eat unlike his brother.

Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving gathering. Enjoy!





Oh yeah..Cameron got into my aunt's dogs kennel.

Hospital Stay

Tyler got out of UK on Saturday afternoon for his video EEG monitoring. He did a lot better than what I thought he would do. When we first arrived they decided to do some blood work to make sure everything was okay there, which is was. They also put an IV in just in case they needed. Finally they came and put the leads on around 1:15 on Thursday. He was monitored Thursday, Friday, and part of the day on Saturday. He didn't have a full blown seizure while we were there which is really good. He did have 1 event and some spikes and waves which lead to a full blown seizure.

The doctor on call decided to stop his current medication since it was causing some aggression and mood swings. So right now he is medicine less...I don't know if that is such a good idea. They wanted to do a "trial" period off of the medicine to see if he is doing better being off of the medicine he was on. I anticipate them putting him on some other medications soon. We will have to wait and see.

Here are some pictures from the hospital. Doesn't he look pitiful!

Tyler

Yesterday was a rough day for Tyler. On the way home from Nana's (daycare) he had a seizure in the car. I just happened to look back and notice he was shaking, eyes were blinking really fast, and his mouth was drawn up on the left side. I said Tyler three times and no response at all. So I pulled over on Man-O-War where there is really no where to pull over and got out of the car. By that time he finally quit seizing. He had bitten the bottom of his lip and it was bleeding. It was quite a scary moment for me let alone him.

This Thursday can't come soon enough to see exactly what is going on...He goes into UK Children's Hospital for the Epilepsy Program.

Scooter

Cameron has been able to walk for quite sometime but before he could walk he would "scoot" on his butt. He could crawl like most babies but he just couldn't get around fast enough for him. So enjoy this video of him scooting...

Tyler

Frustration....I went to Northern Elementary to try and get Tyler into Early Start Program to get some more structure than what he already receives at an in-home day care. Well he is not eligible since he is not behind enough to qualify. Children have to be almost a year behind in 4 certain areas. He is only 5 months behind in the self-help area. For his communication skills he is very advanced. He is at a 4 1/2 5 year old communication level. I was trying to get him in with his epilepsy to see if that would help him branch out a little bit.

I guess I will have to wait until he goes to Kindergarten!!

Halloween Pics

Tyler is a little golfer practicing his swing and Cameron went as a sock monkey. How cute are they....

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween boys! This year we went trick or treating at Mamaw Teresa's house. Since she just had to see the boys in their costumes. Tyler wasn't really into the whole concept--he cried and didn't want to do it. I pushed on and he relaxed a little bit. He just doesn't understand what is fully going on yet. He is only 3. Cameron was game for just about anything except for wearing his sock monkey hat.
