a new perspective....


Taylor had a long night there and was ready to go home to his bed!!!


see he really was doing fine later that night..smiles and all!!


Sunday started off as a usual Sunday, we had Christopher's brother and girlfriend staying with us so that was the only that was different for us on this Sunday. I still got up and got me and the boys to church....Taylor went to his class which he is doing a lot better than I had expected and I owe a huge thanks to the nursery staff at church for taking Taylor on. The boys went down for their naps as usual and took really good naps. Christopher and I worked out side in the yard and talking to neighbors...the boys got up and we where all out their enjoying the out doors and the neighbors. As we where all going inside (this was around 4:20ish) and we where around at our garage putting everything up and so forth....Taylor was toddling around and kind of stumbled and not quiet fell down but kind of not hitting his head or anything but he went into one of his "episodes".....but this one went quiet different. He did not pass out instead he went into a seizure......scared Christopher and I to death and it lasted longer than what I could imagine one last...so yes we called 911 and the firetruck and EMS got here in no time. This was 4:30ish
But as I stood there watching my precious baby go through all of this and fearing he might not come out of it.....everything had a new perspective!!!
My new car of two weeks that I crunch the back life gate to during the week did not seem to matter much anymore.
The house that I had not cleaned that day..did not matter anymore.
All the things I was wishing for and planning to buy for me, boys or the house...did not matter anymore.
The only thing that matter was getting my baby to stop doing this, making sure Weston was not lost during all of the commotion and our family and friends.
I later learned just what wonderful friends we really do have. From our next door neighbor, who has become a huge part of our family, helping Christopher with Weston and getting a bag packed for the hospital for Taylor. My other two best friends who did not listen to me when I said I was okay and did not need any help and showed up at the hospital to sit with me and brought us snacks and moral support. And the rest of our neighbors who have been there for us with encouragement prayers and offering to help out in any way!! God has sooo blessed our life with so great people and I will always be thankful for them.
Taylor is fine...it was always a possibility that he would do that with his condition we just where not prepared to see it. Yes no we have to be even more in edge and watch him even closer but we are just thankful we still have him!!!! It was a long night and we are having to do me blood work and I just hope and pray that we will find something that will help with stop all of this soon.
We did go home that night but it was close to 12 before we did get there.
