Thankful Today

Andrew and I were thankful to be at the neurologist's office and not be able to remember the date of his last seizure which was before the last appointment!  Dr. Crittendon was glad too.  He did a quick neuro exam and then left things as they are.  He said he did not want to talk too much about what we have already talked about, because things are going well.  We had increased a drug that is used with other seizure drugs.  We were at the limit, and then neurologists started pushing that limit up 100 mg and had good results.  So we hope we are at the max.  We still pray for healing and for these to go away and for no medication, but we were all happy in that room today!  Thank you, Lord!

Sam got home (again) before Andrew got to the bus stop!  He was about 40 minutes early getting off today and just walked down our road.  One problem is that a neighbor's dog ran at me and barked aggressively the other night.  I yelled at it, and it stopped; but it kept acting like it was coming after me.  That would terrify Sam.  Andrew was getting ready to walk up the road when he saw Sam.  When he checked Sam, he was 42.  That is very low and can be dangerous.  I am about to give up on the bus except Sam LOVES riding it, and I want him to continue to enjoy the reading camp.  So I think I will just have Andrew go even earlier and call to see if the schedule has been changed.  But I am thankful he got home safely and was not scared.  He is growing up, and I want him to be independent; but with dogs and big cars going way too fast for our road, it scares me a little that he has walked alone down our road twice now.  The bus driver is probably wondering where on earth we are!

He only has one more day this week and then has his teeth pulled and something else on Friday.  Since he cannot eat, we are going to Walmart before we go to the oral surgeon.  There is nothing like Legos or outside toys to play with your brothers to get your mind off breakfast!

Have a great rest of the week!
