Not Me! Monday

This week I did not almost give Kaydence Emeric's seizure medication because she was sitting close by and I wasn't paying attention.

I did not tear up when Kylie's teacher told me she was one of the most well behaved kids in her class.

I also did not become embarrassed when my father in law got up and church and said he was thankful for his wife because she brings him his underwear. (He recently had surgery and can't climb up the stairs to his room well.)

I am not letting Emeric's worsening ataxia and extreme tiredness worry me. Nope, not in the least.

I do not find it funny that Emeric thinks he should cross his arms and say, "humpf" everytime I tell him no.

Not Me! Monday

Upon hearing that Kylie had been kissed(on her coat, lol) by two boys at school who apparently have a "crush" on her I did not consider calling her teacher the next morning to let her know Kylie would never be returning.

I do not bite my nails and even if I did I definitely would not bite off my fingernail and then use the small piece to get something out between my teeth because I was too lazy to get up and get a toothpick.

I did not put Emeric in his bed(which is enclosed) with a bunch of toys so I could make dinner in peace and then leave him in there while I checked email, facebook, etc... because he was happily playing!

When walking out the door one morning and spotting a dead mouse laying on the path I did not actually feel a bit sorry for it and wondered how it died! What the heck? I am terrified of mice!

I do not need to stop eating frozen pizza 3x a week because I am not going to slowly gain back those measly 5 lbs I lost running this summer!

I did not consider putting up my Christmas tree today BEFORE Thanksgiving!!

So, just leave a comment telling me what your favorite lotion scent is and I'll pick a winner randomly on Thursday, November 12th who will receive one bottle of Victoria's Secret Pretty In Pink Lotion!

Epilepsy Awareness

As I said before, many people tend to think of a tonic clonic seizure as the only type of seizure. This is the first video I have of Emeric having seizures. He was 9 months old and I was video taping him and just happened to catch it on video. In showing it to 2 different doctors neither of them believed it was a seizure but a video EEG proved they were seizures. Just further proof that seizures that aren't "typical" are sometimes very easy to miss.

I have a few more videos of Emeric's seizures and there are a lot of videos on you tube that show different types of seizures as well.

Therefore we do not lose heart.

Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
