The Worst Feeling

I think I actually felt the worst feeling of my life this week. We had quite the scare with little Brynn. She had a fever for a day or so and we were out of Tylenol so I headed to Walgreens to stock up. I was browsing the isle and when I turned around Brynn was convulsing like crazy. Her head was thrown back along with her arms. I picked her up and tried to get her attention with no luck. I had no idea what was happening, but I was in a total panic. I ran to the clerk with Brynn still going crazy. Suddenly she stopped shaking or even moving and her eyes rolled to one side she was totally limp and turning blue. The clerk called 911 and an ambulance was on it's way. I was totally blank and couldn't remember a thing about CPR. She finally came too and was totally drowsy. Anyway the Dr at the ER said she had a febrile seizure. Apparently there is absolutely no harm to the child and they usually grow out of it. Chances are that she will have one again in the future when she has another high fever. So in short I was totally freaked out for nothing. I am glad there are Two Walgreens in The Woodlands since I can never go back to "that one" and I hope that someone else is around in case of a "real" emergency since I totally froze. In my defense I trully thought Brynn was dying and that was the WORST feeling in the world. I felt totally helpless. I just wanted to hold on to my kids all night.
Anyways that is the big story for the week. We are still fighting off viruses. Aden is the lucky carrier right now. I hate it. We are home bound for weeks when a bug gets into our house. On a happy note. Ryan and I celebrated out 5 year anniversary this week. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for some yummy grub. He is still my sweetheart and I am still his. It is a good feelng. Hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Still Alive!



In case anyone was wondering...I know I haven't been a faithful blogger. No real reason, just lazy!! We have had a great holiday season at our house. We tried to keep things as stress free as possible this year. We didn't even get cards out in the mail. Thanks to all of you that remembered us. We remembered you too. I was again- just lazy. Here are some pictures from Christmas morning at our house and then at Ryan's mom's. Aden seemed to think everything was for him. His all time favorite was a Darth Vader voice changer helmet. He asked for it for weeks before Christmas. It worked great on the box, but as soon as we got it out it wouldn't work--so sad. We can't find another one either. But he has gotten over it. He has two new costumes (Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles& Power Rangers) and he is happy with them. He also got his first game system. We got him a V-Smile. Apparently he inherited our talent with video games because he gives up after about 5 min. of playing. He will get the hang of it. We got Brynn a little ball pit. The ball pit at the physical therapist is her favorite thing. So we got a little one for home. She loves it the only problem is that Aden thinks it is his too. As soon as she starts to play in it he is there to push her out! She also got a dolly from grandma that she loves. She just giggled and giggleds when she got it. It was very cute. Ryan and I had a good holiday as well. We feel so grateful for our family and everything else good in our lives. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year!! We love you all.
