Monkeys

Oh, how I love and enjoy these babes.  

One night this week Daddy had a guys outing so instead of going right to bed, I let them stay up and jump in Lily's crib.  They had a ball!  Its one of their favorite things to do... and its summertime and they're kids!  YAY for siblings and childhood fun!

(i have video but for the life of me and Mike, it will not upload to blogger... i think its our camera software?)

Lily is potty training.  Hooray, I can't wait to trash our changing pad!

...but I'd be happy to need another ;)

Peter's Keppra is being increased this week to 400mg 3XD, which is the max dose.  He's had the occasional myoclonus jerk over the last few weeks (mostly when he's tired or grumpy) and so I called the neurologist and she is going to increase him and then draw a Keppra level next week when we go for his ENT visit, since we'll already be at VCU.  

Please pray with us that this increase would totally do it for Peter and he'd stay seizure free and be able to remain on only Keppra.  He's done so well on it!  Pray that God would heal him & grow our boy up healthy and seizure-free, for His glory.  And I'm praying for God to give us the faith to trust Him, always on ongoing request.  Peter's had a great week so I am reminded to look at how Peter is doing, not just his medication.  And its always a good reminder to love and treasure my children.

We'd been waiting to see if our insurance would approve speech therapy for Peter.  We found out this week that they have!  We praise God for this blessing!

The caged monkeys (aka: Pete and Re-Pete) were happily worn out...

 and ready to go ni-night.

I am tossing around ideas of when to take Lily out of the crib and what to do with their sleeping situation/rooms.... share a room with twin beds and have a guest room....oh, I'd LOVE that.  And I love the idea/challenge of creating a boy/girl shared space. Or should I  keep separate rooms b/c of their different AM wake times.... decisions, decisions.  I'll enlist Brenda's help after she is all recovered.  ;)  Love you, BD.
