All is well...

All is well here.  Brodie is enjoying school and we've finally set a date for his birthday party which was post-poned due to Ashley's illness, Hope's illness, Ashley's funeral, Hope's continued deterioration ect.  It's been a tough run, and now it's time to attempt to climb out of the pit again (ie. pretend this is our new normal and hope it lasts).  So, I set a date for Brodie's birthday party (a small party) and Alex laughed at me.  "Jolene, you know what happens when you make plans...".  Yes, yes, yes....I know, but Brodie deserves a party and I finally have the energy to make it happen.  He's been a very patient little boy!

Hope is still having very intense seizures, lasting up to 10 minutes.  She has 7 - 15 per day, but she still has smiley comfortable periods in between and doesn't appear distressed at all.  I can't sit her up very long because she has trouble with her secretions still, but she sure does smile when we put Mira on the floor in front of her to play.

Mira is having fun chewing on her big toes when she gets her socks off.  Too cute!
