So, now that it is the middle of March, I finally have a chance to REALLY update my blog from the beginning of the year.....
Right after we came back from Christmas vacation, West had a couple of Clonic-Tonic seizures. They were very scary to watch and its hard to try to help someone when they are going through that because there is not a lot you can do. His tongue falls back in his throat and blocks his airway so I have to just make sure he is breathing and let it happen. We have had all sorts of tests and doctors appointments. The doctors also think that he is having partial seizures where he doesn't loose consciousness. They have now diagnosed him epilepsy. He takes medication to keep the seizures away. But, every time he stares off or he makes a weird face I get all nervous! I am always waiting for it to happen again. It is possible the seizures are triggered by stress and/or sleep deprivation so we've been going to sleep early and I do everything I can to make sure he is not stressed without making myself more stressed!
Right at this time, West entered a buy out agreement with his dad for High Definitions.
The managers at the Diner also quit while we were on vacation. So I have been helping out with that more than I ever expected.
Because of all of this, I have only been working in design 2 days a week and spending the rest of my time at High Definitions and the Diner. Which has been very convenient because......
I am preganant!!! Right now I am about 14 weeks. I am due on September 16th. We are very excited! Some of the excitement has been dulled a little though because I am pretty sick. A couple of weeks ago, I ended up at the instacare needing 2 bags of IV and an injection to stop the nausea long enough to get the IV in. I was completely dehydrated and I had gone into starvation mode. I got a prescription for anti nausea and it has been helping quite a bit, but I still have NO appetite and am always forcing myself to eat. I was hoping it would be going away soon, but this week the medicine hasn't ween working especially at night. Right now I am just praying it doesn't last the whole time.
We have pretty much figured out how to handle all these changes now are very excited for all the things to come!
Bring on 2010!
