Max update!

Seems these days the dog has been more drama than any other family member!!!

Saturday, Max had the worst seizure to date. After 1 hour of cluster seizures, Kyle called MedVet...only our luck would this happen on a weekend or afterhours. He had to been seen or it could be fatal. Kyle carried Max into the back of the Tahoe and headed to Worthington. On the way there, he had 2 more cluster seizures in the back. I had to stay at home b/c the kids were napping...I wasn't waking them up to see something so scary.

Of course, he came out of the seizure as he arrived, but Kyle chose to have him seen anyway. They could tell he had been through a lot and decided it was best for him to stay overnight and begin a treatment of Phenobarbital via IV. At this point, they believe he is epileptic.

Kyle returned to MedVet this morning to pick up the pooch. They sent him home with Phenobarbital tablets and Valium, which is an anal medicine we are to give while he is actively seizing...I love the dog and all, but come on!! Kyle is in charge of that one...

So, happy to say Max is doing better...he is in a drunken state and sleeps all day...but no more seizures, yet. He will have a check up this week at the vet.

On a lighter note, Ady Jade got into some pink paint today. She thought it would be fun to taste it...but her Dad came to the rescue just in time. I washed it out, brushed her teeth, and called Poison Control...the verdict was "she would be just fine". I think she thought it was baby lotion...definitely my daughter! :D

What a beautiful day!

We started the day with Brynleigh attending her 3rd session at swimming lessons. She is doing really well...listens and follows directions, waits her turn, and accomplishes all tasks. Her daddy thinks she isn't challenged enough and needs to be moved to the next class ;) Oh geez...he is starting already...will he be one of those parents?!?! :D

While Ady was napping, we all went outside to wash and wax the red car. Bryn also thought that the mailbox needed a good cleaning...

We ended the day with a walk to Jody and Justin's...then back home for bath and bed. Bryn needed to read some books first...looks like she didn't make it quite to the end.

Vacation Fun!

Ocean Isle Beach 2009

Ocean Isle Beach was a lot of fun!  The kids always look forward to spending time with their cousins, even though Bryn and Marek go at it most times (and we just stand back and watch) :D  

Bryn grew fond of her swimmies and was jumping in the pool solo by the end of the trip.  She also enjoyed chasing the birds on the beach...although she never quite caught one.  The ocean was intimidating for her as the first night she was knocked down in the undertow...but she would go in and ride the waves, but only with a tight grip.

Adelyn enjoyed the sand and had it everywhere!  She really liked the beach toys and playing with the buckets and shovels.  Ady had no fear of the water...but that's our Ady!  She also enjoyed all her cousins and they all are very sweet to her!
