Hi All! I hope that you all had a wonderful Holiday. It’s been a crazy couple weeks with getting ready for Christmas. My daughter also got sick and the day she started getting better Dakota started having seizures. Needless to say I am not to happy with the neurologist so I am getting a new for another opinion. I guess that’s the side of me that when I don’t like what I hear I seek out until I am satisfied. See the only thing different this time is that I was not the only one who noticed what was going on. Even my neighbors noticed which makes me more determined because I know I wasn’t seeing things. LOL Dakota is doing very well though.  Read more...

Well I am really far behind in what I wanted to accomplish today so most of it will have to wait until the weekend. This morning I was holding my daughter and she had a small seizure in my arms. Her head went back and her eyes rolled backwards. I pinched her finger like the neurologist suggested with DJ to see if I would get a response. No response. It didn’t last long. I didn’t have any bright lights on or curtains open this morning. When she came too she squeezed her eyes shut. Then within 5 minutes she was sleeping. She didn’t sleep to long.  Read more...

Saturday night or should I say early Sunday morning, It was a little after 1 AM when I was about to go to bed. Dakota had waken up and said he was going to get a drink. He comes back to lay down and gets up again. Didn’t say anything. All of a sudden I heard to be what I thought was throwing up all over my hallway and kitchen floor. This went on for a couple hours. Poor kid tried to lay in his bed and threw up in his bed. So he had to try to sleep on the couch. Well he never was able to get back to sleep.  Read more...

Well I have been waiting to write my update and I finally heard from the neurologist. The EEG was normal and actually looked good and there was a possibility of Dakota being weened off his seizure medicine. Well since he had a seizure that’s not an option anymore. They are raising his seizure med now. We will have another EEG in a year.  Read more...

I will have my All About Kids Post Tuesdays up a little later today it will be this afternoon.

Things with Dakota have been really tough lately. I thought things were going well for a while and then well we take a step ahead and fall two steps behind. The last week or two has been rough. There are times mornings are difficult as he doesn’t want to get ready for school. There are many little temper flare ups. Lots of screaming and yelling and what feels like talking back.  Read more...
