A little late (ok a lot), but Happy Halloween!

The EEG...

came back normal, so we pretty much do not know anything?!? I considered this very good news, but our neurologist told us that that does not mean that there is not a seizure disorder. The only thing we could do is run EEG's often and we decided we are not going to do that. We are going to see an ear, throat and nose doctor next...I just love the medical world.

JAKE'S MRI...

test results came back and everything is perfectly normal...yippee!!! That was a BIG relief. Now one more test to go on the 14th, and then we meet with the neurologist again.

Carving pumpkins...

went something like this...We cut the top off of the pumpkin and Jake said "Shoo Wee, Stinky Pumpkin" and then he had absolutely no interest in touching the goo. So he was pretty much a spectator!!!

Pumpkin Patch...

We were going to try out a new pumpkin patch this year, but when we got there it was closed (kind of how the week has gone) so we ended up going to the one in Westville, which has a tractor to go out to the pumpkin patch BUT only for school groups...you can imagine the melt down!!! Luckily he loved climbing on the train and truck.

Cincinnati...

We headed to Cincinnati last weekend. We went to the zoo and the aquarium. Jake had a blast! He keeps talking about the big giraffe and the little shark he touched!

Neurologist...

Something about that just doesn't seem good, and then we had our appointmnet on Tuesday, and it wasn't real good...not bad...but not real good! The conclusion...we really don't know anything...welcome to parenthood. Jake has to do 2 more tests this month, an MRI and another EEG. The neurologist thinks that there is enough evidence from his past 2 seizures that we need to look into this further. So on Nov. 21 we will know the results from the tests and hopefully have some answers. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...it is going to be a very long November for us.

Really Feeling Better...

We have had no fever (over 99) for 48 hours. He is off of the Tylenol and Motrin and is just taking the antibiotic...yippee!!

Feeling Better...

AGAIN...

Once again, Jake started having seizures Tuesday night (10/10). He woke up that morning absolutely fine. About midmorning he started to feel a little warm and he was tired. We spent most of the day cozied up on the couch or chair watching TV. He never reached a real high temperature (compared to the past) but his temperature was up and down all day (not a good sign). Around 9 I took Jake to bed with me and he was acting okay, nothing out of the norm of a sick child, we were watching Bob the Builder and he was talking to me. Then a half hour later he rolled over and started seizing. Jason and I rushed him to the Plymouth ER. We were released a few hours later. The next few days he spent on Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours and he is taking an antibiotic. Our Dr. wants us to see a neurologist...not real thrilled with the idea, but I guess it is for the best. We will be going within the next week or so. I will keep you all posted...keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
