The Reconciliation of All Things

Seizure or no seizure, I'm gonna live life and have fun! I was cleaning up the house today!!!

Thanks for your concern and prayers everyone. We got home Wednesday night, so we spent less than a full 24 hours in the hospital with Noah. His seizure ended after three hours finally, and by the morning he was up and at it, full of energy, like usual! We had to wait until mid-afternoon to talk to the pediatric neurologist, but finally he showed up. The medicine that Noah has gone on now is called Tegrotol, or something like that. It's pretty commonly used for seizure disorders, it has possible side-effects, of course, as all medicines do sometimes, but we just have to see if this one works without side-effects--if not, we switch to another one...he'll probably be on it for two years, and be weaned off it if no more seizures occur during these next two years.

Do you? Do I? --Well, Noah's in the hospital, again. Tonight he had another seizure. I've come home to sleep, since I couldn't get Becky to leave Noah's cribside. She'll be dozing off in the rocking chair throughout the night...it's now midnight or so, and I'll be back there by 6:30am in the morning. This seizure we recognized right away, gave him the medicine we got since his first seizure, and called 911 as we were giving it to him. Maybe it helped, we don't know...what we do know is that this seizure wasn...

All dressed up in Brazil's colors! Thanks Nana Bacheller for the Brazil Soccer Team Shirt! I love you!

Yep, Noah enjoyed his cupcakes...that's for sure. Can you tell? What gave it away???

Today we celebrated Noah's 1 year birthday! We're only 1 month late! Since we got out of the hospital on his birthday in January, it got postponed. So, here is his "cake"! Can you figure out what it is? (hint, hint: Think flags...and South America somewhere we like).
