Update on us.


Sorry it has been so long everyone. This is going to be short and sweet and to the point and there will be no humour intertwined in the message for your pleasure. For this I apologize.
Isabelle has been sick for about a month. I took her in about 2 weeks ago and they tell me that she has bronchitis. So they give her medication to clear it up. By this time I haven't slept in a week because she hasn't slept. I start her on the medications and she has this episode where she turns blue and cries and her eyes kind of do this weird closing thing. We take her to the hospital (thanks Keith and Bonnie) where she is all happy and perky and they basically brush me off and say that she is fine. Next day she has 3 more "episodes" I call the pediatrician and he says to bring her in. It turns out she is having seizures. The Dr is thinking it may be from all the meds that she has been on in the last few months. Her body is just telling us that it has had enough. So we are to stop all the meds and vitamins and everything and let her system clear out. If she has any more seizures she will be admitted to the hospital and they will run a bunch of tests to see what is going on. My sister has epilepsy so therefore there is always the possibility that she has it too. So that is all I know. I have now been going 9 days with little to no sleep and my brain has shut down all unnecessary functions in order to keep me breathing and my heart beating. Things like humour, wit and thought are now unavailable until further notice. So I apologize. I will try to keep you all up to date on whats going on.

Emily is doing better in school and just started soccer. She is loving it and having a blast. Growing like a weed and getting prettier by the day other than that she is just being a typical 6 year old.

Colin and I are both exhausted and Colin is still working long hours. I feel like I am teetering on the edge of a cliff just waiting for one more little breeze to come along and blow me over. How does that saying go again? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger right?
