I dx Oliver this weekend with roseola. He got a rash Saturday evening after his mysterious high fever went away. I remembered Lily having that when she was a baby and so I googled it and sure enough he had every freaking symptom. I called the on call nurse just to be sure the rash …
I have been asking (read: begging) for a garden for some time now. Andrew’s dad had a nice one so I know Andrew knows how to do it. Aunt Gloria and Bill have a nice one and when I went to my friend Julie’s house and saw hers and we ate salad with tomato’s from …
We had a great weekend! The drive was long and boring, but the kids were great and we got to Disney right at rush hour. Gotta love CA traffic!Lily’s birthday was Friday and we first had breakfast with the princesses, it was very sweet and yummy. Andi said it was a dream come true. She …
When Lily was born we thought she was the most amazing human being we had ever laid eyes on. We thought we were the luckiest parents on earth to be her parents. She is like the best home made ice cream we have ever taken a taste of. She is sweet. She is cool. She …
So we have our consult with the neuro surgeon Wed afternoon to discuss the VNS replacement. Pretty much just a necessary unnecessary appointment. I figure we will schedule the surgery then and I will update when I get that date.Andi and I loved the pre school and I am so glad we decided to check …
I’m sitting here while Lily is being double teamed by OT and Speech. Andi is playing with the therapists toys and Oliver is trying to do what ever Andi is doing. She doesn’t want to share and I am already getting a glimpse into the world of sibling rivalry, something I have managed to avoid …
I decided to go ahead with the replacement of the VNS. I think it is one of those “don’t know what you have until it’s gone” knowing that it is off and has been for awhile now I think it helped her with some of the seizures, but also with alertness and hopefully a better …
To say time is not on my side is an understatement, time isn’t even in my same area code.I am chasing my tail here constantly and can’t get anything done.I plea bargained with Andrew last night and let him go to bed at 7pm (yes I said 7pm) IF he would take Lily to hippo …
I had to make a heart breaking decision on Friday and put down our family member, Hailey. She was about 12 and had lived with us for 7 years. She started going downhill and fast and it was the right thing to do for her, but it was one of the hardest things I have …
Baby is asleep, got Lily on the bus, Andi is eating oatmeal watching Sprout, I think I have time to update. Long overdue. We got a call early Good Friday morning that Andrew’s dear Aunt Carol had passed away. Carol was an amazing woman. Carol and her family came to our wedding in Mexico almost …
