While we were down here we got to do a lot of fun stuff! We went to Lagoon this last Monday and enjoyed the Laguna Beach as well as the rides. I didn't get to take any pictures but the highlight and sadness of the day was when Josh lost his phone on the Wicked. Turns out it flew out of his pocket and hit the ground.....let's just say an iphone and the ground......don't mix very well. The glass broke and you couldn't see a thing......you could here it ring but you just couldn't see anything and you didn't dare do anything as you might cut your finger. But thanks to insurance....he got a brand new one! Thank goodness because the phone is our only means of communication now!!
Wednesday we rented some wave runners and took them out on the Rockport Lake. We rode them all day and had so much fun! Again no pictures :( but Josh's brother dropped his phone in the water, and Josh and I both lost our expensive sunglasses! Dang it! I love driving a wave runner! It's so thrilling! Some call me crazy.......I call me fun! It truly was a blast! We need to get some of them!!!
Tuesday we went to the Dr. for KZ's check-up since he started the steroids. The steroids seem to be helping at night. He no longer wakes up in the night having spasms but still has a few clusters upon waking but not as severe as they used to be......he also has some in the day time but really not that much. The Dr. said he would more like to see them just stop but them gradually going away is a plus as well. He decided to increase his morning dose from 5ml to 10ml and keep the night one 10ml. We have been doing that for three mornings so far and it seems to be working a little. He doesn't seem to have many spasms in the day time. The doc told us to try it for a week and if it doesn't stop them completely we will have to try a different anti-siezure medicine so we will see how he is doing in a few more days.
He has been really fussy lately.....it seems like he is having some sort of reflux or something because he arches back like something is hurting him and just screams.....especially when he is feeding. I get discouraged sometimes. It is so incredibly hard watching your child go through something that you yourself cannot fix. They told us that the steroids may make him fussy and irritable but it breaks my heart when he cries and I have no idea why.....no idea what is going on in his little body to make it stop. All of the pain I have ever felt......my appendectomy.....my c-section being cut open while not numb and being awake and feeling everything.......is nothing to the pain I feel watching my son go through what he is going through. I am glad that the spasms are not as frequent but I guess I didn't prepare myself for the fussiness like I thought I did. This is probably normal though.....I mean a lot of babies are fussy so I'm sure a lot of mom's are used to it but it's so different for me......for Kaizen. But we are hanging in there! We will get through this! I just know it!
The doctor wants to have a nother check-up in about a week......hopefully the steroids work so he doesn't have to switch to another medicine but we will see what happens. The Lord has his ways of making miracles happen!
Speaking of miracles..........I gotta tell you all how thankful I am to have the power of the priesthood in my family. When we got back from the Wednesday wave runner day mentioned earlier, my arms were so so sore. They ached so bad.....probably because of when I got flown from my wave runner and trying to hold on.....I'm pretty sure it pulled every muscle in my arms. It didn't hurt at the time but o boy did I feel it later......I literally could not lift anything. I really can't explain the pain but I was balling and just wanted to die for a split second. I layed on the bed and my sweet husband put ice packs on my arms and offered to give me a blessing. I don't know why but when I am in pain or feeling discouraged I really don't even think about asking for a blessing.....I really don't know why I don't....I mean the Lord did put on Earth to be used. Anyway when Josh offered I said yes yes please. I was crying hysterically and then he layed his hands upon my head and I instantly felt a calmness come over me.....I felt the spirit and felt like the Lords hands were upon my head. When he was finished I slowly drifted to sleep and when I awoke I had not pain whatsoever in my arms.....like it never happened! I need to learn to ask for blessings more often, whether I am hurting physically or feeling discouraged and sad. I am so thankful that I married someone who has the same beliefs as me and who has so much spirit in him to know what to do when I'm hurting.
Josh gave me my birthday present a couple weeks early....he got me a camera! A smaller one so I can actually have it all of the time and have no excuse not to take pictures!.......
It looks big in the pics but it is smaller and has an awesome zoom! Thanks honey! I love it!
So here are some pictures I did manage to take.....not with the new camera but those will come soon enough!
