Healing.

I probably have never been
so excited, 
except for the days
my babies came into this world.
Here,
it is....


Liam had his EEG yesterday,
after 2 weeks of being on
the powerful steroid ACTH,
to help stop the seizures 
and try to get rid of the 
hyppsarrythmia chaotic pattern
of brain wave,
that makes it impossible
for him to develop.
He has been seizure-free
for over one week.
The EEG showed
a normal sleeping baby.
NOOOO
HYPPSARRYTHMIA!!!!
I could burst into tears 
with pure
EXCITEMENT.
And all I can do
is thank the Lord above
and everyone who prayed for our 
ANGEL.
It's His pure glory and mercy
healing my boy.
This is a picture of Mr. Snoozyhead,
day 8 of ACTH.
Today is day 14, 
and we start to wean him
off of the ACTH.
Please pray for the seizures 
to continue to stay away 
during the wean,
and for sweet Liam 
to awaken more 
and allow therapy to help him
develop again. 

On another note,
McKenna started Pre-K this week!!
Holy cow, how time has flown by!
She's just so big. 
All morning she was rushing me
to get to school.
After she crawled into my bed,
at 7:00,
I put on Peppa Pig for her,
while I changed my clothes.
I came out into my bedroom and
said "It's your first day of school!, 
you want some breakfast?"
"Yay, can I have a bagel?" 
she asked.
"Sure thing baby, let's go into the
living room!"
I made her some breakfast,
and she played watching ol Peppa
while I made up Liam's meds.
I gave them while he slept,
then we changed her clothes.
She was so excited to pick her outfit
for school.
I picked up Liam to give him his ACTH,
then handed him over to Grandma
while I put McKenna's hair into 
a ponytail. :)
She said, "C'mon Mommy!!!
We're gonna be late!!"
"Honey, we're fine, we're gonna be
early."
I started Liam's feeding,
and out we went.
I took a few pictures before
we got into the car.
She had to take a picture
with Liam and Grandma.
 My big girl just so excited!
 Climbing in.
 C'Mon mommy!!!!
 Bustin' a move in the parking lot.
We were 30 minutes early.
Hahaha. 
:)
 She's just gonna burst.
 McKenna smiling away
with her super sweet teacher,
Mrs. Cavanaugh!
This is the same teacher,
my dear friend, Amanda's
son, Manning had last year.
She's an awesome teacher!!!
 Gotta take a picture with Mommy!!
 She found her name!!
I love this picture.
Here she is on her second
day of school.
Still excited!! 
 and 
her third day.
:)
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
At Pre-K open house,
we met the parents of 
a classmate of McKenna named Isabella.
She also had seizures as a child.
Her parents were very comforting
when we talked about Liam.
They prayed for us,
and today Isabella is a thriving
little girl in McKenna's class.
Yup,
we were meant to attend this school.
Please continue to pray for my angel
warrior!!
And please pray for a wonderful year
for McKenna
and peace and healing for all of us.
