Getting Big.

Unfortunately my nephew Brendan had a seizure while in the car on Friday night. He has been in the hospital ever since and has gone through many many tests and all have come back fine except to indicate that he did have a seizure. He seemed to be doing a lot better on Sunday and is having an MRI today that will hopefully give us some answers. Brendan was a preemie and born at 30 weeks and he possibly may have a condition called hydrocephalus which is fluid in the brain but should be controlled with a shunt that would be put in the back of his neck to drain the fluid to another part of his body. But again, we don't know if this is what he has but it seems to be a possibility. Please pray for Brendan!
On a brighter note, the kids are doing great. Lucas is getting so big. He is laughing more and just talks all the time. He is not sleeping through the night yet but he sleeps longer at night which helps. Addison is doing great too. She is saying more and more longer sentences every day like "thanks for coming over". We have been talking to her about using the potty for some time now but she wants nothing to do with it, but it is early still.
Here is a picture of Lucas in his bumbo chair. Doesn't he look so big. Don't you just love his little brother t-shirt (from my friend Pam!


Addison loves to lay on the floor with Lucas.

Addison loves to help. Here she is watering the flowers at my parents house.

Bob is a huge St. Louis Blues hockey fan and it looks like the kids will follow in his foot steps. Addison is already obsessed with it and loves to wear her hockey shirt. She had to wear hers after she saw Lucas in his hockey shirt.

So cute!!!
