Aidan's two year journey!

It's hard to believe Aidan will be two in just a week and a half. It's been a wonderful two years. I can say it was tough at times but it was well worth it. I thought the slide show was appropriate just to show everyone how far he has come in two years. I can say that I never imagined he would be just as normal as all other kids his age when he was born. I remember sitting in the hospital day and night just thinking about these days. He has truly amazed us! We are so blessed to have him in our lives, I can sure say I don't know what Josh and I did without him!!!!!

Snow day!

We only got a little bit! It was pretty but things where a little chaotic around here. Aidan actually went to school but I think everyone else was out. I enjoyed it but now I am over the cold and ready for the warm weather. Aidan is doing wonderful, he will start getting speech therapy once a week as of February 9th. I am looking forward to it. We won't know what to do if he actually tells us what he wants instead of pointing. I think he will catch on soon considering on Monday we where in a store and he was playing with these backpacks, I told him what is was and he just kept saying "packpack". Sounds good to me!

Perfectly Healthy!

Perfectly Healthy is how our "new" pediatrician described Aidan today. He said that since all of his test were normal, then this will rule out a seizure. They went ahead and did his 2 year check up and the only thing that he was concerned with is his speech. I am going to get him into a speech therapist so that we will be caught up! The doctor couldn't tell me why he passed out but he said to watch him and if this happens again that he will send us to a neurologist. We changed pediatricians and this was the best choice we have made in a long time. Thanks for all the concerns, phone calls, emails and especially prayers. I will post some pictures as soon as I can, it's hard to get a picture of someone who is always on the go!!!!

CT Scan results

The CT Scan was normal!!!! We haven't received the results from the EEG, hopefully we will get them monday. Aidan is being his normal self and he hasn't had any signs of the "passing out" since the one time it happened. I hope and pray that this was just something that happened only once. I will update as soon as we get the EEG results in. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Have a great weekend!

How the test went

Aidan was wonderful!!!! The EEG was a bit diffucult for him because they GLUED about 15 electrodes to his head most on the forehead. The part that scared him most was this little air thing that blew the glue dry. He cried but Josh and I did good holding him down and reading him books. It was hard to see him cry but we knew he was in no pain. After the electrodes were glued we had to hold him on a stretcher for 40 minutes and make sure his head was facing this camera at all times so they could monitor him. They flashed a light in his face at the beginning. It was all over before we knew it and we were on to the CT scan. I will say I was nervous about this because Aidan has never layed still! He was wonderful though. The lady strapped him in like a little burrito and he held his head very still. She only had to repeat one round, which only took about ten seconds. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts, they were so answered. I was so amazed at how good he acted during all of this. I will updated to let everyone know the results. They should be in by 10 in the morning but I am going to call this afternoon.

Just a little update on Aidan

Well, I just wanted to update everyone on Aidan. On saturday he and I went out for a walk and afterwards I was holding him, his head was lying on my shoulder and he just went limp on my shoulder. It was only for about 5 seconds, because I responded immediatly by trying to stimulate him. I called the dr and she said to bring him in on monday unless other signs of this happened again. I took him in on monday and the dr. said we should get a EEG (measures the brain waves) and a CT scan just to rule out seizures or any thing else. I think this is good but, I sure hate Aidan is going to have to go through this. I am so protective of him ( just like any other parent). We have to be there at 7:30 in the morning for registration and the EEG will start a 8 and last until 10. At 11 they will do the CT scan. Please pray for him to try to relax and stay calm during this and for all the test to be normal. I will update as soon as we find something out!
