Happy Thanksgiving

Hope has a better time in the sitting position some days. Check out her cute little recliner. It gets sad to see her lying on the couch all the time, so we get a little excited to have her in her chair when she is handling her secretions better. More seizures create more secretions, so some days when she's having a 'plethora' of seizure clusters (more than 20), then we let her rest more and try not to elevate her head at all. The days when she isn't seizing as much, we can do more with her, and she appears to enjoy it too.

We had an early 'Thanksgiving' get together here on Wed with Alex's family. The kids loved the attention. You can see GG and Grandma Joan sitting with them... I just woke up from my sleep (I worked another night shift last night), and now will start planning for our trip out to Killarney tommorrow. We'll spend Thanksgiving with my family. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hope does look cute sitting in that chair! Sounds like the night shifts are taking a round out of you,Jolene, although I'm sure you enjoy getting out.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the family in Killarney!
