Happy Birthday Madison!






Happy Birthday to my little girl! I can't believe it's been a whole year since her little wiggly body struggled her way out of my womb.
It's been a long year full of tears and joy. We traveled a lot- we visited Europe and California, Florida and Canada, swam in the Caribbean and visited DC.
Along with all the joy that comes with the little bundle we had our share of worries. We went through 14 seizures, 3 different medications,4 hospital stays and 5 EEGs. We are well acquainted with all hospital procedures and have seen the inside of the hospitals of most major cities from San Diego to Montreal( and we are still receiving bills). We are now going on 3 months seizure free and hoping that we can soon take her off the meds. And through all that she was still one happy little girl always with a smile on her face, my little warrior.
A few days ago we had a birthday party for Madison and she was the queen of the ball. She hit the dancefloor and was dancing like there was no tomorrow, she blew her candles and tried to grab them too, and loved her cake. We are having an ice cream cake for her today.

We are now taking bets on how soon she is going to walk. We have grandma down for three weeks and grandpa for next week. The winner gets a wet kiss!

Happy New Year!
