Happenings

Things happen and then they go in the past just as another experience.
some moments I want to live in forever some I can't wait to forget.
Madison had two more seizure and another fruitless stay in the hospital. Last Thursday was seizure#5- right arm, eventually spread to her face and her mouth started twitching. the Diastat didn't work right away so we went to the ER.Of course the seizure stopped when we were getting out of the cab- lasted about 20 min.The nurse made fun of us that we were so calm- we had seen it all before, no need to fret. They took her BP and temperature and held us for 5 hours to wait for an ambulance to transfer us to Beth Israel for another 24hr EEG. The results- They have no idea what is causing the seizures. We knew just as much before we spend another tiring night in the hospital.
The good news- we made it to club getaway so I got to waterski again(doing much better now) and finally get into a backend split and catch it twice.
My first catch in two years was scary and I was so nervous i felt nauseous on the board. But the second was perfect and I was so happy to fly again. That is the feeling I want to feel forever.
Anyway in between crawling, standing, cutting teeth and babbling up a storm Madison had another small seizure yesterday morning- only left arm diastat kicked in in about 4 min and the whole seizure was about 12-15 min- she was smiling at us and didn't seem disturbed about it.
Enough about the bad moments!
Madison went on the swing for the first time and loved it. Yesterday we went to see the animals in the petting Zoo and spend half the day with auntie Astrid and Vania. Madison loves company she would play with anyone who comes close.
She had a great round of giggles with Maria( our cleaning lady) who was trying to teach her to count in Spanish.
she is just the happiest baby. Obviously she's gotten very good at forgetting the bad moments right away.
