Valentines

Eve's class exchanged Valentine's. Those that were able to write did their own. Others had help from parents. I was amazed at the creativity and kindness of the kids. Each child tried to write something nice about the recipient. Here are two great examples that Eve received:


Translation:
"To Eve. I love it when are [sic] names are next to eth [sic] other at lunch. From Sam." Presumably, if names are next to each other, so are bodies.

And here's one that made me cry:

It's one half of the valentine. The cut out center makes a (sort of) heart when unfolded and the name of the sender and Eve are on the other side. But this side is the best. It's got a picture of Eve and the sender - notice how Eve is drawn in her wheelchair. Isn't that awesome??????

bowling party

Eve was invited to a bowling party this weekend. It was a perfect day. Bowling, friends, and cake and ice cream. Can it get any better? Blissfully, Jim came and helped with Eve which saved my back and allowed me to talk with other parents. Fun times for all!

EEG scheduled

I called the Neuro today to see if last month's seizure warranted any testing. I thought it would be good to double up on the appointments rather than make a separate trip if he wanted additional testing. So, he does want an EEG on that day (but sooner if she has another episode). The scheduling nurse said she'd get back to me if they wanted Eve sedated for the procedure (which they often do for children under 5). Although I am not into extra meds for my child, that would almost be a relief since Eve is so intensly fearful of medical settings. I'd be worried that they wouldn't be able to do the test properly if she was screaming and crying.
So the EEG is scheduled for the beginning of next month.
