Drew is 3



Our Drew is 3! Yeah! We jump for joy that he has successfully made it another year. He has shown the Doctors and all of us that he is strong, stubborn, and our little miracle man. He had a wonderful birthday. His Papa, Grammi, Mommy, and big brother Will took him to lunch, then ice cream and finally the playground for some fun. We ordered chinese food (Drew LOVES chinese noodles!) for dinner for him and then just played outside the rest of the night.
He had his birthday party that weekend. We went to the same wonderful place we have been going. It was a Blues Clues birthday party. He is obsessed with Blues Clues and his notebooks. He had such a great time with all of his friends and family. He tried to get the notebook off of his cake before the party began. The notebook was made out of frosting so he just left some marks on his cake trying to get it off to use it, true Drew style! He had two huge pieces. It was a wonderful day and one that we are all thankful to God that we have been able to celebrate for the last 3 years. Each day that Drew is active, full of love, and of course naughty, we cherish for we do not know what Drew's future holds so we just enjoy the present.

Finding Answers

We have spoken to his cardiologist here in Buffalo and we have seen a pediatric neurologist. Both Doctors are in agreement that Drew had a seizure. The neurologist wants Drew to have a sedated MRI and then be admitted into the hospital for 3 days to be observed. We have the MRI on June 10th here at Children's Hospital. We will be admitted to the hospital on July 19, 20, and 21st. Drew will have a 3 day EEG and video monitored for seizures.
For everyone that knows our Drew, you know that video footage will definitely be some show! He will not be a well behaved patient.
Now we just wait and see what the results will be.
