My parents are in town, it was a planned visit. So we took Burton to Disney's Magic Kingdom Fri. night when he got out of the Dr.'s office and napped. He really enjoyed it. It beat being coped up in a room for 24 hrs.

So this is what's going on with Burton. His EEG showed high spiking when he was sleeping. Which means he's having what they called partial seizures. He's brain is firing at the same time all over the brain (it's going crazy) but he's not having the physical signs of a seizure just the brain activity of one. So they put him on Keppra so we'll see how that goes with side effects, etc. He has a follow up in April unless we notice the seizures then he'll go back. They couldn't tell us how long this had been going on or if it just started but they did say we probably saw the physical signs of a mini seizure because he was sick, had a fever and was over tired. So I guess this is a blessing knowing and getting him on med.'s to try to prevent more in the future.

Well we're having a HELL of a year and I mean HELL. Since Burton's been home from the hospital he had a mini seizure. We called and took him into the ped. office, Wed., they sent us to the neurologist office to have a EEG done, his first on Thurs. and we got the call last night "things don't look good you need to come in tomorrow, Fri. So our apt. is at 2 and we'll see what's going to happen.

Burton was back in the hospital this past week. Thankfully it was only 2 nights this time. We brought him into Florida East, the hospital about 15 min. from the house Sat. afternoon with clear fluid being discharged from his ear on his shunt side. We were hoping for an ear infection but after being there for 6 hours and having a CT and shunt series of x-rays done they told us he had mastoiditis and were going to transfer us to Florida Children's. Burton had his first ambulance ride, he liked it with all the lights on :) So we are home and on 3 different medicines for the next 10 days.

Here's a video of Burton on his fire engine he got from Mimi & Papa for Christmas.

We have had a very busy end of Nov. - Dec. Were to start..... Burton started school after his birthday , Nov. 17, and went for 3 days before he and I headed off to California. My grandpa passed away Thanksgiving Day so Burton and I made an unplanned trip back west. We were there for 2 weeks and enjoyed seeing family. We even go to see Uncle Eddie as well as Santa. I think we were home for 4 days with Burton's days and night mixed up before we all headed up to Tennessee to spent Christmas with Wayne's family. We made a trip to Ohio for the big family Christmas party, Wayne's dads side of the family. Burton's only Great great grandma, Granny, is still alive and they meet for the first time. Burton had fun playing with cousins, mimi and papa until Christmas eve when he got sick. So needless to say Christmas wasn't much fun. We cut our trip a few days short to come home get better and sleep in our own beds. This next week we're just trying to get the house back in order, get over being sick and getting back on schedule.

Our new pet !!!!

We got a new pet. It's a Gator. Thanksgiving day we were roasting our turkey on the back patio and we think the gator could smell it. He was hanging out in the pond about 50 feet from our back yard. Wayne feed it ham and then some turkey. I was bout 20 feet from it when taking the video.
