February 3, 2010

Whew, what a week! Mommy and Daddy went to Aspen for their birthdays and the day they got home I started getting a rash on my face! Mommy took me to the doctor and we were told I am allergic to Penicilllin! But it didn't end there. The rash started to get really bad and mommy took me back to the doctor's office 3 times and on the 3rd time the doctor wanted to call an ambulance because I was purple and blue and throwing up and pooping all at the same time! But mommy and tata decided they could drive me to the ER faster then waiting for an ambulance. So we got to the ER and I stayed there for 6 hours for blood tests and xrays. They kept giving me painkillers and benedryl and then admitted me into the Children's Hospital for an overnight evaluation! I puffed up so big that my hands and feet looked like tennis balls and I couldn't bend my arms or legs! But as time took its course, I am slowly starting to get better and we got to come home from the hospital really late last night! I was really happy to sleep in my own bed! Thank you for following my blog! xoxo

Happy 2010! (Finally an update!)

Hi Everyone! It sure has been a long time since mommy has posted an update! We had a great Christmas and New Year's! I am doing really good health wise! I weigh 17 pounds now and I am almost holding my head up completely on my own! I got so spoiled for Christmas, tons of toys and clothes and kisses! I loved how every night mommy read 'The night before Christmas', I wouldn't go to sleep until she read to me! I am doing really good on the Ketogenic diet, the doctors had me wean off of one med already and I am so much alert and I am awake for a longer period of time! We go back in February to see if I can start weaning off on another med, that means I will only be on one med and the diet! Cross your fingers!! I started going to school again, mommy and I go on Wednesday mornings and I take developmental classes with about 15 other kids. I am really started to improve in all aspects! I really love listening to music and I love my toys that light up and make noise! Last Saturday I finally made my mommy very happy because I said "Mama"!! Even daddy heard me so he knew mommy wasn't lying! I will keep everyone updated on my progress and thank you for following my blog!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Hi Everyone! So mommy dressed me up today and took my christmas pictures! I had so much fun! I also went to the eye doctor yesterday and he told us that I am doing great and I was looking at all of the different toys he was holding in front of me! So I don't have any eye issues!!! We also went and bought our Christmas tree and decorated it on Sunday! I have been doing great on my medication wean, so if things keep going this good, I might be medication free before we know it! I am only having about 10 or 15 seizures a day now, which is a huge step from the 100 to 150 a day I was having before the keto diet! This weekend mommy and daddy are taking me to the mall to sit on Santa's lap so there will be more pics to come!! xoxo
