Missed pictures

Here's a collection of pictures that somehow missed the blog

 Reptile man came to the school and the boys held his boa with their buddy Al.  Grace was home sick that night which was sad because she loves snakes.

 In April we finally pieced things together with Evan's teacher and realized he was having a lot of side effects from his epilepsy medicine.  We were emailing his doctor about things, and then he had a partial seizure one morning, and we ended up with an emergency appointment.  They did an urgent 24 hour EEG that afternoon.  Here he is with the electrodes all hooked up.

This was the cap and bag he had to wear for 24 hours.  I went to school with him to make sure he didn't scratch his head and knock anything loose.  We ended up finding out he was on the verge of a seizure all day long, and likely having absence seizures, all because his body wasn't reacting well to the med he was on. We started the process to switch him to another med right after this and things seem to have improved.  

 Evan reading with Kyle.  This was shortly after the med transition started and a great sign for us that things were getting better as he could focus on books for longer again.

 Finn being a trusty companion.  During the period where Evan was likely having absence seizures and was on the verge of a seizure all day, Finn always went to sleep with him.  He would go curl up in his legs while Evan went to sleep and stay there til we put him to bed.  He was even up all night in his kennel the night Evan had the partial seizure.  This pup can definitely tell when things are going on.  Since the med switch he is more of a bed hopper and snuggles up with a different kid each night.

 Love how we find this girl sleeping.  This was a day she woke up early and we told her to go back to bed.

 Another classic Grace pose while sleeping.  Lucky she has the big bed.

 While Paige was up for a visit we tried out her curlers.  They were super easy and Grace loved the curls, but with her thick hair they sadly fell out pretty quick.

 Last day of school party with the neighbors.  My kids have some pretty awesome buddies living close by.
