We went to California over Memorial Day to celebrate my mother and my grandmother's birthdays. A trip would not be complete for Kenny without a stop in Little Tokyo. Livvy, Kiki, Micah and Leisy all enjoyed their mochi (ice cream covered in rice flour) and each got a little souvenir to remember the trip.
Leisy enjoyed spending time with her daddy.
Leisy had a seizure tonight. She is doing fine, the doctor thinks it is from a fever stemming from an ear infection. So that means it was a febrile seizure, not that she has epilepsy. She had been fevering today so I gave her medicine. Later, Kenny was holding her on the couch and said to me, "She's shaking really weirdly." I looked over and right away I knew....seizure. Convulsions, eyes rolled back into her head, scary. Kenny was holding her tight so I had him lay her on the floor where she could finish the seizure. The only problem was right after she finished convulsing, she turned a nice, ugly shade of grayish-purple. Not a color I really care to remember. It took about a split second for me to know she had stopped breathing. I felt for a pulse and then started CPR. Kenny called 911, I gave 2 rounds of CPR and then my baby came back to me. Well, she started breathing on her own. After a seizure there is something called a post-ictal stage where a person is there, but very, very tired. They could sleep for hours. It took Leisy about 10 minutes to respond to her name and be able to focus on anyone's face. The ambulance came, the EMT's checked her out. We decided to take her to the ER just to have her examined by a doctor. Cari & Mark (who arrived even before the EMT's arrived) stayed with Livvy and Micah. At the hospital, the doctor thought Leisy had an ear infection, gave us a prescription for an antibiotic and said we were okay to take her home. I cannot tell you how many prayers I said while all of this was going on. I know, I KNOW someone else was in the room while it was happening and took over so I could think clearly during CPR. I am SO thankful for my sweet little baby and am happy she is going to be okay.
"You know you'll give me the money eventually Daddy. I'm too cute you can't resist my powers. Just hand it over now and save yourself the trouble".

Kenny was recognized for having 100% attendance to POST. He also excelled in the physical fitness part of POST. His vertical jump is pretty impressive. Congratulations Kennyguy!!

Livvy & Miss Julie
This is a self portrait from the beginning of the school year and one from the end. Also listed is how much they grew that year. Livvy grew almost 2 inches since August!
Livvy had a great time at preschool. She has learned to write her name, is getting reading down, knows her phone number, all her numbers, letters, shapes and colors (she's known those since she was 2 though...not to brag or anything). She loves rhyming, counting by 10's and too 100. She know lots of facts about amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, the seasons. Sometimes it amazes me how much she knows and with the deep thoughts she has. She is on her way to greatness!
