Holiday Cheer

I know I got carried away with the pictures!!















Notice the "candy cane" canes...corny, but I couldn't resist.

My apologies for the delay in posting the past few days. First it was a string of migraines and I couldn't form a sentence. Then it was all the fun that got in the way. Michele, Brian, Matt and baby Trent have been here the past few days. We have had so much fun with them. Josie is absolutely loving being able to hold Trent. She is so kind and gentle with him. Matt and Luke have been running around playing like little bear cubs. So cute together. My mom's side of the family was here for the weekend. Fun parties and celebrations with all of them. Josie has enjoyed the whole string of events. In a nutshell, we have been to Descanso Gardens, riding on trains, Travel town, making and decorating Christmas cookies, having dance parties led by 2 year olds, holding 2 week old babies, mostly enjoying those we get to be with.

Yesterday we spent the whole day at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles doing an EEG. An EEG monitors the brain waves and can pinpoint seizure activity and location of the particular activity. As you know from past posts, she is seizing anywhere from 10 times a day to 40. We get in there and they hook her up, which is quite a process, and in 8 hours she might have had 1 seizure. To top it off it occurred in the one minute I ran to the bathroom. You never wish seizures on your child, but if she is already having them during a video EEG would be a nice time for them to appear. I decided instead of seizure meds we will just wear the EEG machine everywhere..hehe. She was so disgusted with the wires all over her head that she kept telling everyone that she looked like Ursala, the sea witch from Little Mermaid. At least she has a sense of humor.

Today we picked up Jeff so the family is complete. We had a wonderful Christmas party with the Yundt family. So much fun to be with them. We are so lucky to have close friends and family to enjoy the season and whole year with. Will post tomorrow. Looking forward to the celebration of our Lord's birth. Good night. Jenny and Josie
