The Captain

We had the opportunity to go out on our friend's boat. It was all the boys could talk about. Drew was super excited. Both boys loved their lifejackets. Drew even enjoyed swimming in the river. He did NOT want to get out of the water, even when his big brother told him the sharks would get him! (there are no sharks in the river or anywhere around us!). Drew responded, "I love sharks".

New Diagnosis

We were only supposed to be in the hospital for 3 days to determine if Drew has seizures or not, but we ended up staying 5 days! It was a long 5 days for us but I believe even longer for poor Drew. He hated the wires attached to his head and just being stuck in the hospital room. What kid would tolerate that well? We left the hospital with a diagnosis of sorts. He is having seizures but for now they are only present when he becomes tired and or sleeping. At the moment they are not interfering with his daily activities. He is not going to have to take anymore meds but he will be monitored. The Doctors did fine a cyst on his right temporal lobe. I asked what that means and their response was it could of formed in utero and does not appear to be the cause of his seizures and is not complicating his brain and it's functioning. Again we just watch it with a yearly MRI and hope it never becomes anything more. We have a follow up appointment with his Neurologist in October and hopefully she will give us more answers than the hospital doctors.

Drew's attitude remained the same in the hospital and out, NAUGHTY! But that's Drew and thats how we know he is feeling ok. He always keeps us busy.
