HAPPY V-DAY EMERALD AND KAIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Omg omg omg omg .. SHES SO GOING TO BE HERE IN A FEW MOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[..katie..]

YAY!!!!

 

[..katie..]

Okay, so, yall know how patrick has been having leg tremors, right? Soooo they've spread to arm tremors too. And apparently, two days ago, his eyes rolled back and he went all rigid and stuff for a few seconds, then was normal again. And i'm just barely finding out about it. Im mad.
But anyway.

Em, does anything have progressive seizures?

Another point of worry for me...
What do your guys' kids do/what did they do at two months and three weeks? Patrick hasn't rolled except for on accident, he doesn't focus well on tv, he doesn't lift his chest up off the ground, and he doesnt reach for stuff.
he does, however, smile when you smile, focus on faces, turn his head towards noises (sometimes) and he's figured out that if he kicks, his gym rattles. He also can bear weight on his legs.

??

Yeah progressive seizures have a few causes. I don't know what Patrick's looked like but it really sounds like focal seizures are becoming more generalized. You really need him checked out. If he's got epilepsy he'll most likely be just fine and grow out of it. But he needs a neurologist honey.

Can you give me more details? When, where, how many, descriptions etc. Everything.

Tyler is 2 mos and 0 weeks, but he grabs and reaches for things, stares at the TV , doesnt roll yet but is working on it, smiles, focuses on faces, turns his head, and is also trying to grab with his feet... 0.o? But he doesnt lift his chest and he has decided he now hats tummy time 0.o

 

[gigglebox]

des was starting to smile more frequently around that time. he doesn't grab for things still. he also hates tummy time...he can lift his head but it's a struggle, what with it being so large. He only now lifts his chest a little. He is giggling more now. He cannot roll over...but he kind of shifts himself around in his pack and play somehow...he does look at the t.v. and likes faces.

i hope everything is OK with OMF :/ i'm sure he will be fine but it couldn't hurt to make an appointment.

 

[gigglebox]

like, harf? I can harf on you. I'd actually fly there to puke on you if you really wanted.

I'm starting the "get katie to virginia to puke on laura fund" fund.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I'll buy you a beer after. or giant diet coke. you decide.

 

[..katie..]

i'd take both.


When I brought up the tremors to the doctor, I was told to just log everything. As for the eyes-rolling-back thing, it happened two days before I found out about it, so I don't know any details because I guess that shit wasn't important back in the 90s or something (i had seizures as a kid, so did my brother, although his was from a vaccination.) and I dont know what it looked like. Her reasoning for not telling me instantly was "he was gone for so long that I didn't know if it was a new development."....he was gone for six days, but she does have a point.


GAHHHHHHH.

 

[gigglebox]

ok, not telling his mother ANYTHING is inexcusable...but hopefully she knows better now. sounds like it could be a genetic thing. you werido.

ok b&b, please stop exploiting the 6 legged baby photo.

 

[..katie..]

DUDE THERE'S A SIX LEGGED BABY? Are they okay?

Also, yeah. she hasn't heard the end of it since she told me.

 

[gigglebox]

Yes, six legs it says. and evidenting it's fighting for it's life.

 

[ashiozz]

poor six legger..


Katie, It sounds like Patrick's seizures may be genetic from yourself and if so its probably something he will grow out of.. but I would watch him and still talk to his doc, that must be terrifying..

I think Tyler seems to learn to do things rather quickly, he smiles EVERY morning and babbles to no end, he's been giggling for a while as well 0.o

..before I know it, he'll be walking, he bears A LOT of weight on his legs when stood up.. 0.o and he played with a glowstick for a while at the fireworks in his hands

...clearly not a good guage for normal 2 month old milestones =/

I don't think Patrick sounds behind,with that being said. I also dont read about when they should be doing certain things, cuz, every baby is different.. my brother walked at 6 mos, im not sure he ever crawled, I DIDNT crawl, I crab walked, sooooooo i would not be shocked if Ty skipped crawling.

 

[gigglebox]

i just realized i put "evidenting" instead of evidently.

spirochetes again. they like poor spelling and grammar. we (work wife and i) have named the lead spirochete "jorge".

 

[ashiozz]

Jorge, spelled with a J, eh? I like his style. How is your lyme disease doing these days?

 

[Emerald87]

I didn't crawl either. And I didn't walk until 18 months. I consider myself reasonably normal-ish now lol

 

[ashiozz]

interesting, Emerald, neither of us crawled, did anyone else here not crawl!?

 

[..katie..]

I crawled. My niece, Zoey, walked before she crawled...she played with other little kids and evidently got pissed off that they were crawling while she was walking, and was very determined to figure out how to crawl. It was WAY cool to watch her little brain a-working.


HI JORGE!

 

[gigglebox]

Well, it's pronounced, "hor hay", because he's a mexican spirochete for some reason.

I don't know about my crawling...

HI JORGE!

I think it is cute she got upset that they crawled and she only walked, you'd think they'd all be jealous of her super awesome walking ability.. lmao.. =) Kids.. kids are cute lil creatures.

Emerald....you there? *worried*
