As far behind as I am on blog updates I just couldn't let today pass without publicly stating how thankful we are for this day. After <a href="http://ksthompson.blogspot.com/2012/02/3-months-date-with-daddy-and-few.html">this experience</a> last February and then hoping we were in the clear only to <a href="http://ksthompson.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-boy-and-his-wubba-gracie-girl-and.html">go through it again</a> four months later in July, we are so, so grateful that today marks six months of being seizure free for Steve. Praise the Lord!

Six months is the length of time you are supposed to wait to resume many normal activities that could put someone with epilepsy in serious danger (i.e. driving, swimming, bike riding, climbing, HUNTING,). It's pretty much medical clearance to resume normal, everyday life. In other words, I told him he could legally do many of the things he's been doing for a while now :) I realize this doesn't guarantee he will never have another seizure. I still pray every single day that he doesn't. But it sure does let you breathe a little easier. It's also a pretty good indicator that his medication and dosage are working well for him, and it gives us a little more confidence in a drug that we were unfamiliar with a year ago. Thank you Keppra and modern medicine!

I am so thankful for this man. I am thankful for his love for me. I am thankful for good health, for our children, for our family of five. And I am thankful for friends and family who have prayed with us and for us, who have driven Steve around, who have taken our children here and there, who have taken him hunting (his hunting ministry, as he called it), and who love us.
As we were praying together this morning, praising God for his goodness, his faithfulness, his provision, I was reminded yet again how much I need Jesus. For everything. To God be the Glory, Great Things He Has Done.

I absolutely cannot believe how fast the year has flown and that our sweet baby boy is 12 months old. What a complete bundle of joy he is and he brings so much love and light to our lives. We are going to celebrate his first year with a small family party in a couple of weeks.<br />

He was NOT excited about having his 12 month picture taken. And it's a good thing this is the last of the "month" stickers because he is quite the wiggle worm making it almost impossible to get a picture.

He had his one year check-up at the doctor yesterday, and we are so thankful for a healthy baby boy.

He weighs 22 pounds, one ounce, and is 28.5 inches long. That's 40th percentile for weight and 10th percentile for height.

His pediatrician joked that he probably wouldn't be the star of the basketball team. I told him he gets it honest. From Momma AND Daddy.

He wears size 12-18 month clothes, size 4 diapers, and still no shoes. We don't fool with shoes 'till we're walking :)

He is cruising like crazy but not really standing up alone and definitely not really close to walking. But he can get from room to room like nothing you've ever seen. The other day I saw a dead bug on the dining room floor and my hands were full so I intended to get it later. Next thing I knew, someone had it in his mouth! I was screaming and crying and finally pried it out of there. GROSS!

He's the silent type also :). He has vocalized "Da Da" a couple of times and even tried "GG" but no real sign of Mama yet. Anna Clare had 10 or 12 words by her first birthday and Owen had a handful, but he's gonna make me wait for it. And being a speech therapist, I'm kind of a tough judge when it comes to true words. But he will be walking and talking soon enough so I am A-OK with that.

DISNEY!! We had a wonderfully fun girls trip and I'm so thankful for my mom and Steve's mom helping Steve out with Benton so we could go in peace. It was a blast! I haven't even looked through all my pictures which probably means they will be posted sometime in 2013. As Steve said, the money and the magic ran out, so we had to come home. We are eagerly anticipating the holidays and I am especially looking forward to my favorite...Thanksgiving. We stayed home last year because B was only a week old, so we are very excited about spending it with cousins, aunts, uncles, and my sweet MeMa, who turns 92 tomorrow! Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

I guess he decided to show me because he busted out with "night night" this morning at nap time. A boy after my own heart :)<br />

I'm so behind on this blog I want to cry. I also want to cry because this little angel is almost a year old. But what a sweet 11 months it has been. No time for crying...here is his precious face:)

When I picked Owen up from school Friday she got in the car and said, "I have the BEST NEWS EVER!" Then she proceeded to pull Swishy, the class pet fish, out of her bag. Each child gets to take Swishy home for the weekend and take pictures and journal about their weekend with him.

You might remember our prior experiences with the same Swishy when Anna Clare was in Kindergarten. We lost him not <a href="http://ksthompson.blogspot.com/2008/09/swishylost-and-found.html">once </a> but <a href="http://ksthompson.blogspot.com/2009/03/swishyagain.html">twice</a>.
So needless to say, I've been a little nervous this weekend. But as of right now on Sunday afternoon we are in the clear. Here are some pics from the weekend..

I can't believe we are closing in on a year! What a joy this sweet boy is. He is into everything though thankfully showing no signs of walking any time soon. He loves "patty cake" and "this little piggy." No words yet....just "aaa aaa aaa" all the time. That's all he says but he says it all the time. It cracks us up. I gave the opening at CBS this week and spoke about our children's program. I used him as a visual for the first part and told the ladies that I was a speech pathologist by trade and "aaa aaa aaa" clearly means, "I love CBS." He was a hit with them for sure.<br />
<br />
We had a small disaster at the beach. A nightmare. Or as Steve called it...a Wubbamare.

Wubba fell apart. And all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Wubba back together again. If you missed his love for Wubba, you can check out the video <a href="http:">here</a><a href="http://ksthompson.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-boy-and-his-wubba-gracie-girl-and.html"></a>
My sweet sister-in-law gave us an identical Wubba back-up but he will not be played for a fool. He totally knows the difference. Now he sucks on the green paci and holds and rubs the dirty little animal. He will play around with the back-up but when it's time to get serious, he wants the real deal. Make that deals. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this mess, we are listening.
Happy Weekend!

She wanted to dress "just like Sissy did when she went to Kindergarten." Anna Clare was so proud she ran and grabbed this picture and asked me to take their pic. :)

Whew! I'm only about a month late posting those. Between getting everything ready for the children's program at CBS to tackling a twice-a-year consignment sale and tagging clothes every free chance I got, the last few weeks have been CRAZY! But all that tagging will be worth it soon I hope. I've been saving for a surprise for the girls for over a year. I can't say just yet because Anna Clare gets on here occasionally but I think they will love it!<br />
<br />
And an update on Steve...We went to the neurologist in Birmingham and things went really well. They squeezed us in for a same day MRI and it and the blood work all came back normal. Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow! The doctor offered to leave him on his current medication and dosage or switch him back to Tegretol...Steve's choice. He decided to stay on the Keppra for now. He was afraid he was on a really high dosage but the doctor said it was a very normal dosage. That gave him some peace of mind I think. He also agreed with everything our neurologist is doing here, including doubling his dosage, which was some wonderful affirmation. Should he have any more problems on the Keppra, he will definitely go back to the Tegretol. But as my friend prayed over me last week, we are claiming no more seizures in Jesus' name! Thank you for your prayers. The girls and I have a little trip coming up in the fall and the original plan was for Benton to stay home with Steve. After the seizures I've been VERY anxious and worried about leaving them. But my mom and mother-in-law are coming to help out and I'm so grateful for that. We were able to slip away to the beach this past weekend, and it was very relaxing and refreshing to get away...just out little family of five :) I'll leave you with a few pictures..

At his nine month check-up he weighed 20 pounds, 1 ounce (40th percentile) and was (I FORGOT!) but I think 27.5 inches long? (20th percentile...I do remember that for sure because he gets that from his short parents) and head circumference was 50th percentile.

We dropped her off on Monday morning and picked her up on Saturday. She's never been away from home that long so I had no idea how it was going to go. Thankfully her friend Olivia went too and was in the same cabin, along with some other girls she knew from school.

As you can tell, that boy loves his Wubba! It's called a WubbaNub and my sister-in-law gave it to us when I was pregnant. If we lose it, we are in big trouble. He has another one with a different animal but it is clearly not the same. Wubba was in the washing machine the other night, and Steve told me to retrieve it mid-cycle because he was so unsettled. He finds great comfort in rubbing the little animals head. It's already looking worn, so I can only imagine what it will be looking like in the future. <br />
<br />

I had a friend call a few weeks ago that had a friend who needed a baby swing and wanted to see if we were ready to let ours go. I snapped a few pics before we said goodbye :(

Steve had another seizure three weeks ago. I just haven't felt like writing about it. It was a very disappointing setback, but God's provision was all around us. Steve was taking a nap on the couch on a Sunday afternoon, Anna Clare was watching a movie, Owen was at GG's, and Benton was asleep in his crib. I picked up my purse and was literally walking to the door to go to Target when I heard a thud. I thought he must've fallen off the couch and I walked into the den and found him in the middle of a seizure. I told Anna Clare to call our neighbor, who is a nurse, and she did. He came down and helped me and stayed until Steve came out of it. I was so proud of Anna Clare. She was so calm and only became upset when Steve woke up so confused. I sent her down to the neighbors, but we've since discussed protocol in case it were to happen again and I'm not at home. Such a big girl.
The effects did not seem to be nearly as bad this time. Steve was obviously scared and upset but his body recovered much more quickly. I can't begin to describe how thankful we are that he and I were both home when it happened. But I've also been frustrated, disappointed, scared, emotional, and exhausted. Five months had passed since
<a href="http://ksthompson.blogspot.com/2012/02/3-months-date-with-daddy-and-few.html">the last one </a> and I was certain beyond certain that he was never going to have another one. The scariest thing is that he has taken his medication faithfully the last five months. This time he was doing everything right.
His neurologist has doubled his medication, and he seems to be adjusting well to the dosage increase. And while we really like his neurologist, we have decided to go to Birmingham for a second opinion. He has an appointment at the end of August and hopefully this doctor will just confirm that we are on the right path. Please pray for no more seizures, that there is nothing dangerous that has caused the seizures, and that we will find the best treatment plan for Steve. Thank you for your prayers--we are so grateful for them. God is good--always!

Owen asked if she could go to the American Girl store in Atlanta instead of having a party for her 5th birthday this year.

Last week a childhood friend's father died very tragically. I was getting ready to go to their house and Owen asked me why. I explained to her that when people die, friends go see them to hug them, cry with them, take them food, and try to comfort them.

I told her that my friend and her sister and their mom were very very sad. But we knew that their daddy was in Heaven. Very matter-of-factly she replied, "Well, Heaven's gooder than THIS place." Yes, it is baby. Yes it is.

On a lighter note, we were leaving church the other day and she said, "Daddy...here's my booger." As I passed her a tissue, Steve asked her what she typically did with those. Her answer: " Well when I was three I used to eat them but not anymore." What a relief.

Steve started calling him Rocket Man (any one humming Elton John?) a few weeks ago because he loves to get up on all fours and rock...hard. I know every baby does it, but when you haven't seen it in over 4 years, you forget how stinkin' cute it is.

We also moved him to his crib for the first time this week. I know. Ridiculous. But it was easy having him in the bassinet by our bed and I was a little concerned about Owen going in and trying to get him out of his crib since their rooms are right next to each other.

Steve went ahead and lowered the crib to the lowest level and took the bumpers off. Big boy :(

His absolute most favorite thing to do right now is ride on the golf cart. Steve takes him every day, late afternoon, and he is mesmerized. Never makes a peep.

He is doing great with baby food and loves almost everything. He gags and shudders a little on the solid meats but I would too. Gross.<br />

He still sleeps all night (Praise the Lord!) usually from about 8:30pm to between 6:30-7:30am.

Steve also got a great report at the neurologist a couple of weeks ago. He is still doing well on the Keppra and he doesn't have to go back for another year. Then after that, he will only go about every 3 years. We are so thankful for God's faithfulness.

Tonight I came across this link. It's an audio of Elliot sharing her story at a Community Bible Study opening in Birmingham on (I think) March 29, 2012, about 2 months before she went to be with Jesus. You will probably have to copy and paste into your browser. Steve and I just finished listening to it. I hope it will bless you like it blessed us.<br />

At one point people were laughing and I was horrified that Owen was picking her nose. Because she does. All. the. time. But I saw on TV later that they were laughing at Baby B! (Thank you, Owen for refraining.)

Since we didn't know if Anna Clare was a boy or a girl, I told Mrs. Elizabeth, the sweet lady that made it, not to make it too lacy or fru-fru in case it was a boy.

Although when we were dressing Benton at the church before the service, he said, "My son is wearing a slip. This is so wrong." He asked our pastor if they could play, "Bad to the Bone," when we walked in with Benton.

He told me yesterday that he really wished he had thought to ask our friend Stephen, who plays keyboard in our praise band, to actually have played it. He said, "You know it would've been funny. Would you have been mad?" I just looked at him. There were no words.

Words cannot express how thankful we are to God for this precious gift. It is our prayer that he walks in God's love and truth all the days of his life and that he has a hunger for Jesus and a desire to be obedient and live in real relationship with Him.

This is the dedication gown. Mrs. Elizabeth embroidered a "T" at the bottom of it and all three children's monograms along with the date of each service. It is so special to me!<br />

Thanks to my mom, my sister, GG, and Nick, we had a wonderful lunch at our house after church. Our home was filled with family, food, and fellowship. It was perfect. I'm so sad that I never even picked up my camera after church. I have no pictures of the food, the delicious blueberry cake, the fine china and crystal, and most importantly, the people! Oh well, I have the memories. Thankfully, my cousin Wendy was there and her husband John went to the car after lunch and grabbed hers. She took these beauties with our children, the cousins, just playing around in Benton's nursery. Thank you, Wendy! These are priceless!

When I took the pictures below either my flash was off or my camera was on the wrong setting or something, because clearly I am such a professional photographer. Ha! Unfortunately they are horrible but I didn't even check them because we were in a hurry to go somewhere. But it's what I've got...

The other day I walked in the den and he and Steve were sitting on the floor. Benton was crying. I asked Steve what happened and he said, "Nothing. He just started crying," knowing I wouldn't buy it. I said jokingly, "My baby doesn't cry. What did you do to him?" He had fallen over from sitting up and hit his head on the rug. He really is such a happy baby. I cannot believe he has been in our family half a year already!<br />

Thank you for your continued prayers for Elliot and her family!
*************************************************UPDATE**************************************************************
I am so very sad to learn that Elliot passed away this morning at 11:11am. I know that Jesus welcomed his good and faithful servant into his loving arms and for that we can rejoice. My heart is broken, however, for the family and friends she left behind. Please pray for peace, strength, and comfort for Chris, Wyatt, Bradford and their extended family.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752402156142364994.post-37023735969661059632012-05-22T12:02:00.000-05:002012-05-22T12:32:05.654-05:00Urgent Prayer Request<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is my friend, sorority "little sister" at Auburn, and sister in Christ, <a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/elliotwilliams/createorsignin">Elliot</a>, and her husband of 11 years, Chris. Elliot was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in October and is fighting for her life at this very moment at UAB hospital. Her faith throughout this journey has blown me away. But she is weak, weary, and very, very sick. Please, please lift her up, as well as Chris, her six-year-old son Wyatt, her three-year-old daughter Bradford, her parents, and in-laws. Our Lord, our Healer, our Restorer, our Strength hears the prayers of His children. Thank you friends.<br />
