Been Awhile

I has been quite awhile since I have blogged. Life has gotten in the way and took some priority. Zoe spent some time at the children's hospital to see what was really going on and if this episodes I saw were indeed seizures related to her Epilepsy or not. Nothing official was caught on the tape even over two days. The two episodes I marked on the video ended up being nothing. So glad about that. Although it has not been a year since her Grand Mal we weaned her off the medicine as the behavior of whining and temper tantrums was more than I could bear and my dear husband could not deal with it. He was ready to start swinging but I would not allow it as I knew this was not something she could control. Her failure to respond appropriately was hindered by the Keppra. I knew it in my heart as she had been a helper with a big heart prior to the onset of seizures and as we upped her doses to control them her personality changed along with it. She is almost back to her old self only when she is really tired now do we see some of the exhibitions she had daily while on the meds. This I can handle.
Louisiana is another world. It is beyond hot. Reaches over 100 daily and the humdity is unreal. It makes me feel like a warm Korean mink blanket is wrapped around me as I head out the door. We stay in the house a lot as red ants are worse here than in Georgia. I walked outside for 5 minutes yesterday to talk with the Direct TV guy and got bit 5 times. Somehow they had crawled up my body unnoticed and did not like me very well as they went on the attack.
I have started working an at home editing/writing type job. The extra money always helps and it is nice that I can start and stop at any point in my day as the kids need me.
Zoe and Kendra start school this week so the house will probably be very quiet without them daily. this will allow me some one on one time with my baby girl. I wonder how she will handle being away from Zoe. She really never has been. She already is asking when she can go to her school too. Do not grow up so fast baby girl you are only 2!
It has been a busy summer with spending several weeks in WV and a few days in Indiana. We brought Jamar, Kendra's cousin down with us for a month. Then she went with her Dad to meet a few siblings Imani and TJ that she had never met. She brought her big brother Blake down to spend the rest of the summer with her. That is my boy. He set her straight while he was here and she lost some of that disrepect she seemed to exhibit at times. He is such a good kid. I remember him at 2 and so little, now he is 17 and 6'3'' and plays football. My how they grow. He plans on going to LSU next year so he will have a second home here whenever he needs one.
I started working an editiorial writing job and love the extra money coming in.....it helps for all the little extras. Have to run now. Hopefully next time won't be so long.
