What a week ! Started last week off with Quinn having seizures again. He had went 6 days with none and then started having about 5-10 a day again. He hasn't had one in 3 days now again so we shall wait for when they start again since that is the trend ;) This week I also got his forms back from the Dr with his diagnosis of Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. I also signed Quinn up for the Saskatoon Epilepsy walk on July 7th. He is doing the kids walk for epilepsy.
Then on Tuesday morning I got the dreaded unexpected call from my sister...whenever this happens it means bad news ! My Dad was in a bicycle accident while they were camping in the mountains. He hit a tree and then hit his head off a rock. He has a fractured skull, broken wrist, bruising to the front part of the brain and very sore, but they sent him home the same day ! Then I got another dreaded call yesterday morning.....My Dad was admitted to another hospital back home because he was still in severe pain. They ran another CT can and saw bleeding in the brain and swelling. So he is on high pain killers and they are hoping swelling with go down. I will give them a call today and see how he is doing.
One thing I have for sure learned these past months is we have no control over our lives... makes me sometimes feel hopeless with me being a control freak. I almost feel what is the point to planning anything ?
The local newspaper ran an article on Quinn, and another local newspaper is going to run something on him as well. The fundraiser the community is putting on is the 14th of July. It is so amazing they are doing this and will help relieve some stress !
Yesterday I also took the girls out to a movie... we do this about once a year since movies are crazy expensive these days ! We went to see Brave since they were looking forward to seeing a princess movie.
Emma also finished school on Thursday so Brooke, Quinn and I went to her little party in the afternoon. Felt like a dweeb since I was the only one with no husband there !! But Ive come to get used to being alone at everything and being a one man show !
Well the kids and I are off to church this morning and then working on cleaning the messy girls room!
