What a New Year so far...

Hi Everybody! Well its been a bit of a rocky start for 2008 so far. Not as rough as some of my angel friends, but rough enough to rock my Grandma's world a bit.

You see, on January 2nd, I got to take a ride in an ambulance. Yep! I guess being an angel is going to have its ups and downs. What was once a possibility is now a fact. It appears that what others thought about me having seizure like symptoms was correct. And they finally presented at daycare! Ugh....Poor Miss Robin (my daycare buddy) got the scare of her life when I went into a full blown seizure shortly after I got there. She had to dial 9-1-1. I never meant to frighten her but I did. :-(

She rode right along with the squad to the hospital with me and was in tears when we arrived. She is such a gem and loves me so. And Grandma and Daddy beat the ambulance to the hospital. Their faces were the first I saw when they wheeled me through the big ER doors. Grandma looked as upset as Miss Robin did and my Daddy was calm and collected as usual. What a great guy. He just winked and smiled at me letting me signaling that all would be just fine. Then he bent over and said; "I love you Peanut." And as usual, he was right......as by the end of the day everything was just fine and we all went home. Such a smart Daddy I have.

I gotta tell you though, I never saw so many people hover over me as I did that morning. Where did they all come from? Doctors and nurses poking and prodding at me. For goodness sake. Grandma tells me that I looked frightened but really I wasn't. I just did not understand what all the fuss was about. I knew Christmas was over and it certainly wasn't my birthday...so why so many people? I knew I didn't plan a party and I know that I sure would not invite all those strangers if I had.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Me and Grandma did a CT scan together. You know pretty pictures of my brain but without the photographer and the squeaky toys. Then later we all went to Akron Children's Hospital to meet my new doctors ahead of schedule. I wasn't suppose to meet them until January 30th. But you know angels, we like to do things in our time not theirs. Hee-hee.

The new doctors hooked me up to this fancy television with lots and lots of little wires glued to my head. Now that was a trip if you ask me! Once again, Daddy sent Grandma with me since she was so scared. He knew I was the only one that could keep her from worrying. Leave it to my Daddy to think of her instead of himself. He knew the only way we could keep my Grandma from losing it was to keep her by my side. She is such a worry-wart when it comes to me. Thank goodness that my Daddy is so patient and composed. Otherwise I am not sure how we would have gotten through that day!

Anyway, they hooked me up to that television for an hour and a half. And not once did I see Elmo or any other cartoon. What is up with that? Not to mention that this was way too much laying still for this angel. I was getting pretty darn restless by the time that lady told Grandma she could stop laying her arms over my chest. And to be honest, I was getting a wee bit tired of Grandma singing to me by this point. I mean I do like when she sings to me but enough is enough~ How many times can any one person listen to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and You Are My Shining Star?

Daddy was waiting for us when we finished that silly TV test and then took us to meet the new neurologist. You know the doctors I didn't want to wait till the 30th to meet. And my Grandma told the nurse that I had missed my snack time and lunch. So guess what? They brought me apple juice and graham crackers! Woo hoo! Now your talking. That put a smile on my face and lessened the rumbling in my tummy.

I really just wanted to go home to my house. So...the doctor came in and looked me over. Told Daddy and Grandma that I had 3 variations of seizures running about my cute little head. Generalized Tonic-clonic, atonic and atypical absence seizures is what I heard the neuro doctor tell them. Wonder what all that means? All I know is it meant I take some new medicine and am finding myself a bit restless and out of sorts. And ........my silly Grandma has added a new vitamin to my daily supplements called B6. At the rate I am going I will be taking every vitamin in alphabet before too long. Just kidding.....but the life of an angel sure means lots of healthy supplements doesn't it?

Oh yeah, you will get a kick out of this one. They are sneaking these new vitamins in my pudding & yogurt. (Like they think I don't see them crushing them up and sprinkling them in my treats?) Wrong........I am way smarter than that. I just don't put up a fuss and let them think that I don't' know they are doing it. After all, if it makes them feel better to think they are out- smarting an angel, hey what the heck. Let them think what they want. You and I know better!

Well it is off to bed for me so sweet dreams and angel hugs to all.
