Ok, so I finally decided that it was time to start creating a blog for our family! I figured it will be helpful in keeping all of our friends and family up to date with all of the new and ever so exciting things that go on in our daily (or maybe monthly) lives. So I suppose for my first post, I should say that I should have started this when Joshua was born, and not now when Jacob is already 14 months old, but oh well. 
Joshua is 4 years old and is a great big brother. He loves his little brother Jacob and it seems that Jacob really loves him. They get along very well and I am certain they will be great buddies when they get older.
As some of you know, Jacob started having seizures called infantile spasms when he was about 5 months old. Those were treated and they seem to have disappeared, but when he hit the 1 year mark, his seizures started again. We have been in the process ever since his first birthday of trying to stop them and to find out more specifically what is causing them, but so far have been unsuccesful. He has had 2 MRI's and the most recent one has brought up more questions than it has answered, so more tests are being run, but no answers as of yet. His Pediatric Neurologist is looking into sending us off to Seattle Childrens Hospital to be seen by their Epilepsy specialists, so we may be making that trip in the near future. He is doing amazing right now. With the exception of the small seizures he still has (but hopefully will be gone soon with a new medicine he is on) you would never know he had any issues at all.
All of us are doing great right now though, and most of us (probably not Rick) are looking forward to the warm weather we have just around the corner. We have been out fishing for Kokanee twice now and have done pretty good at least once.
I had a great Mother's Day and for all of those Mothers and beautiful women I did not get to see yesterday, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY (belated).
Thanks so much for sending me the link to your blog Meghan! I often think of you and the boys and wonder how all is going. This will help keep everyone informed and up-to-date. I'm so sorry to hear about Jacob's returning seizures. I hope the trip to Seattle puts this issue to bed for good. Tell Rick I said hello and I love you all very much. Take Care - Michelle
