An Eventful Week

2012-06-10

I have lots of news to share this week.

On Monday, I fell and hit my head and got a cut above my eye. I was okay. I didn't cry (very much). And it scabbed over quickly. You can see it in the picture where I am wearing the fire hat.

On Wednesday we went to the Children's Museum and I got to play on the fire truck!

Playing with the...the...I don't what it's called. Air goes through the tubes and makes things fly through the air. Whatever that is.

Riding in the cart at the play store.

Just picking up some groceries.

Me and Daddy running the crane.

Making sure the fire truck was okay before we left.

I didn't want to stay asleep Wednesday night. Daddy was just going to bed and I woke up and he stayed up with me. I slept for a little while with him in the big red chair.

Early Thursday morning I had a fever and then I had some seizures. These seizures were different than the ones I've been having since last year. Mommy and Daddy rushed me to the emergency room, but I was better by then. We got to see the same nice doctor we always see in the emergency room.

When we got home, I couldn't get to sleep, so Mommy and Daddy put me and Duke in the car and drove around for a while. Guess what I missed? Mommy and Daddy saw a bear running through a field! They even turned the car around and went back to see it again! I wish I could have seen that, but I find it really hard to stay awake in the car.

After his sleepless night, Daddy stayed home with me and Mommy on Thursday, and Grandpa Al came to visit so Mommy and Daddy could get some rest.

Duke was waiting outside my door because he was worried about me.

Everything was going just fine: Grandpa Al and Daddy were playing with me and then we had lunch and all of a sudden they were holding me down and trying to cut my hair off! Daddy started, then he held me while Mommy cut my hair and Grandpa showed me pictures of trucks. I liked that arrangement better.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Are we done?

Are we done?

I look so...different.

So much for my curly hair....

On Friday afternoon we went to see my neurologist to talk about my seizures. I don't know for sure what kind of seizures they were, or what caused them, but I did get some medication that Mommy and Daddy can give me if I start having a lot of seizures again like I did on Thursday. I may have to take other kinds of medicine every day if I keep having seizures, but we'll have to wait and see about that. We think I may have had febrile seizures because I had a fever and a big new tooth coming in.

So far though, I haven't had any more seizures, and I've been having fun with Mommy and Daddy all weekend.

Remember to come back next week to find out what happens next.

Take care, everyone!
