Rhett turns 3!

Yesterday was Rhett's third birthday. I can not believe that 3 years ago I had my baby boy. Seems like just yesterday.

On Saturday we went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate and have cake. Rhett had a blast and got some awesome presents.

Yesterday I took him to Boondocks where he had a blast again and did lots of fun things. My friend Amanda took some pictures for his 3rd birthday so as soon as I get some I'll add them on.

Happy Birthday baby boy! I love you forever!

Neurologist

Rhett, Mom and Dad went to talk to the neurologist on Friday about all the tests they've done to find out about his seizure. The neurologist says because the EEG came back abnormal that he has a 75% chance of having another seizure soon. He wants us to think about putting him on antiseizure medication. I really don't know what to do. I don't want him to have another seizure if we can prevent it and its going to happen but I also don't want to have to medicate my 3 year old if I don't have to.(I don't take medicine myself unless I have to) I'm thinking maybe to wait till he has another seizure till we get him the medication? I just don't know. I also don't want to see him have another seizure like that. It was so scary for us. It also would cost us some good money to take him to the ER if his seizure is more then five minutes. Doctor also gave us a prescription for a suppository that we give him if he has a seizure that last longer then five minutes.

Also after going over the CT scan and the MRI the doctor found the spot on his brain that they first talked about after his CT scan. I saw for myself. It looks different. He said its not seizure connected cause seizures are on the outside of the brain, and this spot is deep inside and on the left. He wants to go over the MRI with the doctor that went over it in the first place and told us that there was nothing. He just wants to see what he thinks and maybe figure something out about it. I don't think it has to do with his learning because he's a really smart kid. The doctor doesn't seem worried about it but just kinda interested to know what it might be. I am too!

Jeremy and I have been thinking and praying about it and trying to figure out what we should do. Lately we've had a lot to think about and pray about. We've also had a lot of bills to pay and that isn't helping the stress but we're doing it. I just don't really want anymore expenses added onto our stack. Hopefully we can figure out what the right thing is to do for Rhett. Hopefully Jeremy can get over his anxiety soon and not go crazy. Hopefully someday I'll actually get pregnant so we can have a second child. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We really need them these days. Thanks.

Rhett

Today Rhett had some kind of small seizure. I was at work but Jeremy said he started staring off and not focusing. He said his head twitched some for a minute or two. Afterwards he wasn't talking, moving or anything. Jeremy called me as I was headed home from work around 9:30ish in the morning and said Rhett was limp and not responding. I got home as fast as we could and rushed him to the ER. The whole ride he was trying to go to sleep, was really pale, and still not looking at anything. As soon as I walked into the ER he started supporting some of his own weight and looking around some so we took him over to the Wee Care instead. They didn't have an appointment at the Wee Care by the hospital but Rhett's doctor in Syracuse Wee Care said he'd get him in as soon as we could get there. When we got there Rhett was responding a little bit more but still not talking to anyone, not even grandma on the phone. (He loves talking on the phone) We got in to see Dr. Silas and he said he thinks he had a seizure and because there was no fever then it was probably something that would happen again when he gets sick. He also has strep throat.

He wanted us to get blood work, CT scan and an EEG. We took him from the doctors office to Davis Hospital where they did his blood work. We had to pretty much hold him down cause Rhett does not do needles at all! The nurse got him in one arm but couldn't get blood. Rhett freaked out and thought he was done but then she had to get his other arm. They finally got it though. We then headed over to Primary Children's to get a CT scan. Rhett hated that even more cause he had to be still and even the straps weren't doing that. Luckily they got what they needed. The doctor said there wasn't anything on but one spot from something previously (maybe the Target incident) and wants us to get Rhett an MRI.

Rhett is doing much better now. He is acting like himself and is talking just like normal. It took him quite a while to talk and walk. It was sooo weird because he's such an active little guy.

Just wanted to record our day somewhere so we can have a record of it. Scariest day of my life! I will never forget it. I will update more when I know more. Thanks everyone for your prayers and support!

Just blogging...

I figured I haven't blogged in a while so I need to blog now. We don't have a lot going one. Jeremy is going to school full time and working part time at night. He has his schedule all worked out so that he can stay home with Rhett while I do my bus route. On Thursday mornings he has to get to school before I get home so Grandma Compton comes over till I can get home. Its been nice having Rhett's daddy able to stay home with him and not having to take him to a babysitter.

Back to bus driving for me....

I started back to driving. The first week almost wiped me out. I work a lot earlier then I have before and the heat in the bus really wears you out. I wanted to go to sleep at 8pm every night but didn't. I like to keep Rhett up for a little bit later then usual so he'll sleep in the next morning with his daddy. Its been working out most the time but sometimes Rhett gets his dad up at 6am. Not really that fun for Jeremy since he doesn't get home till 1 am.

Its been a pretty good few weeks back to school. Rhett has been potty training before school started and already got it down. Apparently I am a lucky mom that got an easily trained little person. I'm glad for that. I'm glad that Rhett is basically potty trained so when I have another kid in a year then I don't have to change two little people diapers. Thank goodness! Thanks Rhett for being a good boy haha

Rhett sleeps funny!

Rhett was having a long nap the other day on my couch and he kept tossing and turning and tossing and turning over and over again. I was worried about him tossing himself onto the floor so I put some pillows down to stop him. This is what he did after his feet slipped off the couch :
Too funny. He slept this way for over twenty minutes or so before I finally moved his legs back onto the couch.

Later in the day he was singing outside for me. The first time that I didn't record he sang then played his air guitar with his fake noises. The time I caught on my phone was just him singing and strumming his air guitar. At the end he says "Thank you". haha Funny boy.
