Ben Update

Here is just a little update. I don't have much time so here it goes. On Friday the 31st we had an appointment at Primary Childrens Hospital for Ben at the Fast Track Seizure clinic. We got there in plenty of time. The doctors did a lot of questions and were worried about the big "seizure" and the small little ones that he had through out the week. They decided to do an EEG on him. Wow that took forever to get Ben to sleep. He was so scared. I tried laying next to him after they got all the electro discs and wires all over his head. 26 in total. They used a whole thing of gauze and tape just to keep it on. It reminded me of someone who had brain surgery. Anyway, Ben would not go to sleep he was still scared even with me laying next to him. James tried laying next to him and that still didn't work so I tried again. While I was laying there I got tired of it all and I sat up then picked him up and held unto him. I rocked him and sang to him and he finally fell asleep. When he fell asleep I started crying it was all hitting me so hard that something was wrong with my little guy and he has to go through all of this at such a young age and there wasn't anything I could do for him. I rocked him for 30 minutes while they did all the testing including a light strobe test. All of these tests came back as normal....How frustrating. We spent 6 hours down there and we drove back home extremely tired. So no actual news but they want us to keep an eye on him and if he has another one we have a script to fill and give him. Then we have to go back in a month after starting the meds.
So that day is over and the next day goes by without incident and then.....MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Aug 1st. I got to do just about anything I wanted to do on Saturday. I surprised James by saying I only wanted waffles for breakfast. I had decided I wanted to have a BBQ for lunch. I invited my family over even though my brother couldn't make it. The cake we used was one I had to make for my cake decorating class that I made on Wednesday. It turned out great. I will have to put pictures on the next blog. I am signed up for the next session. So in 4 weeks I will post a pic of the next cake. I also did some errands for Mary to get ready for camp. Needless to say all in all it was one of the best birthdays I have had. Thanks to my family and my loving husband for the great time. I will write more later. See ya for now.
