The Truth About It

Looky Daddy’s recent dip into the seizure pool has really hit home for me. Most of you know that Jacob was diagnosed with petit mals seizures in 1st grade and had his first grand mal in 6th. Even after the diagnosis, it was almost a year before he actually had a seizure in front of...

    Some day he will get it, part of me feels that he already does- even if you don’t see it.

    My Baby Brother has seizures that are currently uncontrolled–they’ve been tinkering with his meds for it seems like years now. Looked at surgery but he wasn’t a good candidate because the scar tissue they believe is causing them is too small and inaccesible to risk it. It’s funny about the at peace thing–even though he’s not my child, I’ve been there for lots and lots of seizures and you do come to a point where you realize it’s just the way it is.

    And Jacob knowing how much you love him? I think it’s something they get at a deep level even when they don’t consciously seem aware of it.

    Testing. Heard an ugly rumor that some can’t comment, it’s all lies I tell you, lies.

    I can pull it up now. Yay! (I still can’t from my computer but it’s fine on the laptop. So…Problem on my end not yours!)

    My sister has epilepsy. Well, she has a “Seizure” disorder. It isn’t true epilepsy. She has brain damage and it caused very erratic behavior all her life. It has gotten very, very bad. It isn’t well controlled with meds any more (Unlike most forms of epilepsy). She had an implant surgically put in that shocks her and prevents a lot of her seizures. It has really helped (AND helped her depression. They said that makes sense since it is a mild form of shock therapy in a way.

    These seizures of hers started and incoherent babble and rapid eye movement and progressed to huge, grand mals. I am very used to them but it scares people to death. I’ve learned if I just stay calm, so will they.

    MM is right…It’s just the way it is.

Out of the Mouths of Emies

While laying in bed this morning in the quiet before the crazy starts: “You know I will always love you, no matter what?” “And I will always love you, even when I’m an old lady.” “Really?” “Yep.” “You’re going to be an old lady one day?” “Yep.” “What will I be?” “Dead.” Um, thanks.

    If it’s embarassing that you’re so excited, does that mean that being jealous is three-shades-of-purple humiliating? Not that I’m jealous, of course. 🙂

    Don’t most people get new planners at the beginning of a new year??? Although, what am I thinking, you are NOT “Most People”.

  • ErikaOctober 21, 2007 - 3:38 pm

    Point taken Lori. Happy Birthday by the way, we’ll be calling later this evening so the cherubs can tell you that you are old now.

    You crack me up. Don’t be embarrassed. I’m easily amused too.

Coming Up For Air

It’s been a crazy week. But hopefully things will settle down now. The remodel is mostly done, and work has been shelved until next Tuesday. Hopefully. Because I really need a break, and if I don’t get one, you’re gonna be reading about me in a not so flattering way. I know what you’re thinking:...

    You know, my brain is so all over the place right now that if your brain were working, my brain might not be able to understand you…
