Horse Play

We interupt these random deep thought posts that I make up in the middle of the night and set to post on some random date and time in the future.....to bring you a feature film of our lively boy.

Who can resist his laugh? He has really enjoyed Oreo (and for all of you that knew the original Oreo, may he rest in peace). He loves riding any kind of "horsie" now!

A Note On Resistance

Sometimes the harder you push...the harder they/it pushes back.

A Note On Strength

You could spend your whole life in the gym and still not have the strength to deal with "the heavy things"

Keto Kid

Cole is going to start the ketogenic diet in April. He will spend 3-4 days in the hospital getting his body adjusted. It's going to be a huge undertaking and a lifestyle change for us. We have started a new blog just dedicated to epilepsy and Cole's journey. You can find it here. I have worked hard on this project, but it is not perfect yet. It gives Brian and I comfort when we find other people on the Internet who are struggling with the same things. We have even met a group of Utah parents whose kids are on the ketogenic diet through blogs. We hope that we can give that same support to others that might feel like they are the only ones going through this.

Life as a Contact Sport

After months of multiple falls and injuries like thisand this where we had to get his forehead glued shutand theseand others.

We got a helmet. We call it the "hat".Cole has been pretty good about wearing it, but it doesn't protect from all falls. I am glad that it has cut down on the constant massive green spot on his forehead.

How about this one?You can't really tell, but the fat lip was received in nursery after a drop seizure and the double bruises on the forehead are from one fall without the helmet and one fall with, when it moved to the side.

One Year Ago

Remember this?

One year later: Still have headaches. Only had one seizure since. No stroke.

Things are good.

Wonder what condition I would be in with all of the stress lately if I had not have done this. Everything happens for a reason.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Stale

I have officially become one of those people that let's their blog sit forever, with no new postings.

aka STALE.

I keep thinking I'm going to get to it. There has been a lot happening. Things like Brian turning 30, Christmas, Cole turning 2, a trip to Florida, Cole's first InstaCare visit, etc. Somehow in between neurofeedback, speech therapy, the early intervention teacher, seizures, Scentsy, trying to keep the house clean (keyword trying) and the other stuff going on around here...it just hasn't happened.

So to those who have requested that I get my act together-I'm making it a goal (not a promise).

I still enjoy peeking at all of your latest and greatest. Keep it up! Maybe someday I'll come back and join you :)
