Naps are way overrated anyway...

I love it when all six of us are at home together. K was discharged from the hospital around 10:30 this morning. Best case scenario of the week would have been K having a seizure while hooked up to the EEG and constant video monitoring so that we could get a detailed peak into what his brain is doing while he is having a seizure and make a very informed medication plan. The reality of the week is this: K rarely does anything expected or typical. We went through 5 days and four nights of very little sleep, lots of balancing and juggling of work life, family life, and hospital life, we tried stressing him out in different ways to induce a seizure, I think we got far more stressed than he, we drove the 60 miles between home and hospital alot, we relied on other people and realized how very cared for we are, somewhere in there I turned 29, K charmed an entire pediatrics unit into loving him and making excuses to come into his room, and in the end he never did "cooperate" by having a seizure. It was not an easy week, and I struggled to think it was all in vain yesterday. However, that is not the case . Even though we will not be able to see exactly what goes on in his inner workings during a seizure, the 24 hour EEG test results will help aid his neurological medical team in figuring out a few more things. We have a follow up appointment with his neurologist in March and we will talk about their findings. Did I expect that K would really have a seizure and all of this would work the way the doctors planned it? - If I did I should laugh at myself. This is K we are talking about. My color outside of the lines, think outside of the box, rarely respond in ways any one could ever guess, miracle K. :) Such is life. Excuse me while I go take a nap. After I calm down my almost 4 month old who seems to be teething rather prematurely. Something tells me that nap may just be a fantasy for a long long time.
