Living with Epilepsy

Keone has been on the Epilim for about 6 weeks now and we have noticed he has MORE "brain freezes" and they last longer than they did when he wasn't taking medication. So frustrating that you can't just go back to the Specialist....we have to wait 6 weeks to get back in to see him. Took the kids swimming during the holidays and ended up diving in and dragging Keone up from under the water as he had one under the water.....my hair is a new shade of grey! We always watch him like a hawk at the pool and he isn't allowed out of arms reach, I thank God that I saw his arms begin to twitch and immediately realised he wasn't breathing. Wonder if angels like getting wet? It's so awful to watch a child with any kind of illness, such a sweet kid......and that bear has been his constant companion since he was 2 months old....can't you tell????

My Support Crew

Some weeks are soooo disappointing when it comes to the scales! Nothing worse than working at it all week, then you get on the scales and they go down 300 grams........yes, you read it right 300 stinking grams! I mean, that is half a cheek, a nick off your ear. That is NOT fat, that is the difference between standing on your scales with your knickers on or off. What a downer! Lucky I have a support crew home for the holidays! They gather around the treadmill and yell "Go Mum"......to the point where it is just annoying and you wish you could exercise in peace! Megs has taken to doing the exercise with me, which with her ballet and netball, is keeping her fit. I bought this ball and it really was working great but within 48 hours, Ethan decided to see what would happen if he stuck the edge of my scrapbooking scissors in it. To repair or rubbish; that is now the question. Surprised it lasted two whole days with my two boys! Ahhhhh well!

Danielle Thompson

Oh my word.....Danielle converted this photo for me (how kind was that!). I LOVE IT! If you have never been to her blog you are missing out.....click the link below and fall in love! Look out for her in the new Freestyle Book, I've been a fan for a while. Wouldn't it be great if she was invited to Crafting Connection for 2007??? Speaking of which, hanging out to meet Cathy Z, and Donna Downey, and Nic Howard in real life!....and, and... it's just all good! Up2 is out in another few weeks....the cover looks great! Easter time and I'm avoiding eggs, wishing I could avoid fighting children and Thai food.....but looking forward to NOT avoiding the movies on Sunday....are they even open???....Ice Age 2 (yes I'm a sucker for those kid movies) Happy Easter everyone, the day the greatest gift of all was given to us....one death to end all "deaths", a way opened for each of us to choose life. Jesus you are amazing!
