At age 3 he started having seizures. At first they just told us they were febrile seizures because he always had a fever with them and there was nothing they could give us to control them. The last one he had he did not have a fever with and they finally put him on medication and ran tests on him. He has been seizure free since May 2010 and is slowly being weaned from his medication. I am always worried about him having another episode, but we have been good for over a year now so it helps us feel more confident that it is under control right now. I am still worried that it could happen with one of the younger boys since we were never told what caused it. I look forward to reading all about your adventures!
Love to hear about your boys and their foray into animals. I've read your journal. Love your pictures. Beautiful Sons. Congratulations on your new friend for Black Jack. Looking forward to reading your adventures as well.marlowmanor said:I'm glad you are working on the dream he inspired. I applaud you for being strong after a loss like that. I don't know how I would go on if I lost one of the boys, they are my world.
My boys are enjoying the animals. My oldest is a great chicken wrangler. He always helps get them in the coop at night. He would stay out with the goats for hours if we would let him!
They never told us why Logan started having seizures, so that's the only reason I worry about it showing up in the other 2. I was pregnant with my youngest son when the bulk of his problems started which made it more difficult to deal with. I told DH if he had started having seizures before I had other kids I likely wouldn't have had more kids just because of the worry that it could happen again. The doctors scared us once when they mentioned that when they did an MRI on him they saw spots on his brain, they weren't sure what it was, but planned to keep an eye on it. They told us it could be nothing or it could be something that would require brain surgery. It was terrifying to think of him having to go through brain surgery. It turned out to be nothing though, plus they told us that the meds he is on reduces those spots sometimes. Hopefully we get good news when we go back to neurologist in a few months and have tests run again. I'll be nervous when he is weaned from his medication though, since I know it is keeping things controlled well.
Thank you for those kind thoughts and your sweet blessings. They are truly appreciated.Goatherd said:So sorry about your son. I can't personally relate as I do not have children, but can only imagine. Blessings.
I no longer defend or explain my relationship with animals. Without them, my life would not be worth living. They complete me.You know the love and loss of innocence.
