It has been quite a while sense my last post. Life has gotten very busy here. Four boys will do that to a person! I really, really want to get back to writing on a regular basis, but I do not think it will happen. At least not on the set schedule I had previously. This will be a season of randomness, as I attempt to find some balance between all that competes for my my attention.
Baby B keeps me running most days now. I forgot what it was like to have a developmentally normal two year old in the house! This is my first go at the toddler years from a full time parent standpoint. I understand now why Darlene would often give me the “I’m done” look when I came home.
Super D has had a rough winter. The Felbamate had given us 5 months seizure free, then the flu season hit. Someone was sick in this house almost every week for the last four months. Baby B had influenza A, so in an attempt to keep Super D healthy, we got him a preventive dose of Tamiflu. We should have chanced the flu. It made him sick and we are pretty sure he was having hallucinations from it. The viruses took their toll on his seizure free record. For the first time sense being diagnosed, I thought I was going to have to use the rescue medicine. He had two seizures that lasted over 3 1/2 minutes. One was at school, one here at home. It was also the first time in years he has stopped breathing during a seizure. Thankfully that happened here when it was just me. It would have pushed the school nurse over the edge.
He is finally back on the mend. The last couple weeks have been good, other than the spring fever that is filling the house. I think Daniel and I have it the worst.
There are big things to come this year. Stay tuned!
Life With Super D!
