I am so happy it is Spring! I LOVE this time of year...mild temperatures, budding trees, flowers popping up...and the delightful sunshine! We had a nice Easter and even managed to get a few photos of the family (minus me) - Adam was not particularly in the mood for the photo shoot; however Emma is always ready.
This next month will be a busy one for us - Emma is finishing up 5th grade! Wow, I can't believe I will have a middle schooler by Fall - not sure I'm ready for that transition but she is more than academically ready...she has actually blossomed this school year. She just got her report card for the 3rd quarter - straight A's - she is such a hard working student. We have another swim meet coming up in May and also a trip to Chicago for Adam's therapy training.
We have just now tried to start Adam back to school part time (our first try was actually yesterday) he didn't do so well. But tomorrow we going his class for a field trip to the Children's Museum so I hope he enjoys that (I'm going too!) Our goal is to get him up to 5 half days by the end of the school year...then Summer break and hopefully starting out at 5 half days in the Fall. He will be in 3rd grade and I have already found out his regular education teacher is this great lady who has already taken a special interest in him.
Adam's seizures have returned a bit but still not as bad as it was back in October and November. We saw his neurologist at Vanderbilt a few weeks ago where we decided to hold off on the VNS for now and work on tweaking the medication a bit more. Tweaking seizure medication is always a challenge so that will take awhile. I despise the side effects of the medication and I despise the seizures....sometimes it seems like a lose/lose battle. But I do realize our Neuro is doing the best he can with a difficult seizure situation.
