Blessings Times Two

Welcome to our little piece of the world. We are blessed with health, happiness, & families. We have been blessed twice by different birthfamilies. Each birthfamily was at a time in their life when they needed us & we needed them. We each have been able to bless the other. So this blog is primarily for our children's birthparents who blessed us with the most precious gift of being parents. Thank you for allowing us to be blessed with the precious gift of children.

Uncharted waters

Hayden's diet might get the axe.  We are in contact with Hopkins regarding Hayden's increase in seizure activity, lethargic state, unsteady gait & in general a child that is not our Hayden.  We decided to have the pediatrician group do a once over...nothing blaring---darn!!  But to be on the safe side some lab work was ordered & Hayden is ok.  So all in all the way that Hayden is must be a result of the diet.
Tim & I questioned starting the diet, was it the right thing to do---but in reality there aren't many other choices for Hayden in the realm of seizure control.  And if we didn't try the diet then we would always wonder if it would have been the right answer for him.
But no decisions on continuing vs stopping the ketogenic diet are to be made until next week.

On a positive note, I am glad the kids are out of school for Easter break---we need a school break. Makes me long for summer break & lazy evenings, yard mowing, laundry, late suppers.......and much warmer weather.
This is Munday Thursday....our church has a service each year.  I so wanted to go, but our kids take priority. Hoping that Good Friday brings an easy pace at work.....a girl can dream right??!
