Hello Everyone
Happy Friday! Just thought I’d post an update on the going-ons around here. THe situation with the Evil Neighbor is still the same..although she almost ran over Kiersten the other day. My other neighbor and I were crossing the street (in frong of my house/driveway)to the bus stop with all the kids. Well as we are crossing mid-street and Kiersten has a seizure and sits down. Well Lisa aka Evil Neighbor is in her car backing out and she is continuing to backout. She would have hit her with the car if all the adults didn’t stop and run over to Kiersten. I couldn’t believe it! So now she has gone from Evil Neighbor to just plain Crazy Neighbor. Luckily Kiersten was fine and recovered in a few seconds.
Speaking of Kiersten.. it is true that she is having seizures again. She had an EEG several weeks ago which showed she is having seizures on the left side of her brain. Her doctor, Dr. Sharp has put her on topomax and she is doing pretty good. She averages one seizure per day but they are short and she recovers pretty quick. Dr. Sharp says that if medication doesn’t work (there are a few we can try) then surgery is an option. We are hoping that the meds will do the trick in addition to keeping her stress level down.
Things are going well for the rest of us. Becca is doing well in preschool and is really starting to show that she is ready for Kindergarten. She’s so busy these days playing with her freinds, getting invited to birthday parties,etc. She’s such a social butterfly but she’s having a great time.
Dan is recovering nicely from his eye surgery last month. His vision (without glasses) is now almost as good as when he wore glasses. There is a still a little inflammation then there should be but his doctors give him some additional eye drops that are helping.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the fall weather! (at least here in the Northern VA)
Hooah!
