Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!

We kind of had an unexpectedly weird one, but I am so thankful God is in charge.

Mason and some friends went to Ashland this morning to march in a parade holding gospel banners. Tracts were handed out, and Andy(a friend from Coquille) did street preaching in front of tons of people. Right when Mason parked is car down there this morning his car died... He tried to limp it home at the end of their busy day, but it died half an hour away from home. One of Mason's friends blessed us by towing it to our mechanic. I praise God that Mason and Jim who carpooled together are fine through all their adventures.

On the home front Mye had a seizure. I heard her wake up from her nap, and I went in her room to get her. She smiled at me, and it melt my heart. I picked her up, laughed, and held her as I danced with her into the living room. I spinned her around one time. She immediately stiffened and went into a seizure. It was 2:50pm. I laid her on the floor. Grabbed her diastat and injected 5mg at 2:51. Thankfully, at 2:53 her seizure stopped. Her thermostat sure is wacky. Took her temp after the seizure and it was 101 and even went over 102. Drives me nuts.  She has no other sign of illness. You never know.

Curious to see how she will be tomorrow. Pray with me that she will grow out of these and have no more, ever. ;) No fireworks for us tonight. We have had enough excitement. :) Thankful for peace. "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8

I like to put on here whenever the girls have a seizure, and Mye's last one was May 19. This is just a copy of what I wrote on her seizure tracker on May 19. It is encouraging to me that the seizure did not happen until her temp was really high. She has not had a seizure for almost a month now. She has been doing well~ornery, but well. ;) Possible Triggers:  Irregular sleep; Fever; Sick - complained of sore mouth

Notes: Had 100 degree temp evening before. Not eating as much.

Description: Change in awareness; Loss of urine or bowel control; Loss of ability to communicate; Automatic repeated movements; Muscle stiffness in whole body; Muscle twitch in whole body;

Notes: I heard her moaning/crying at 3:30am. Found Mye lying in fetal postition, moaning and shaking. Took her temp: 103.5, rectally. Attempted to bring temp down by removing PJs and applying cool cloth to head. She then went into a grand mal type seizure. I grabbed the diastat and injected syringes at 3:33am. Half way through the second syringe she came out of the seizure. I gave her the whole dose anyway(5mg total).

Post Event: Unable to communicate; Muscle weakness; Sleepy; Severe startle reflex

Notes: Lying very still. Breath faint. Slight blood in drool. Possibly bit tongue. Continued with cooling measures. Had a severe startle reflex in which she grabbed at anything and everything with a vise like grip every time she was moved. She would also jerk her whole body whenever moved or touched. Awake enough by 3:50 to take some Ibu, By 7am Temp 98.9, rectally. Took her into urgent care around 10:30 after she was rested up. Ear Infection. Put on zithromax

Here are just a few pictures of our 2 week long trip the beginning of May. So hard to decide which ones to put. Ry and Shae lead us all the way to their home at the Tres Cruces base in Mexico where we were able to stay for 5 beautiful days while May taught Evangelism at the school there. The kids had fun together playing in mud, dancing, swimming, eating...

 

You can faintly see the 3 crosses on the hill.

Miss these 2 munchkins. (their parents too. ;)

Little grub balls. Enjoyed picking the fruit of the trees.

We were then blessed to visit with my aunts, uncles, and cousins in southern California.

Aunt Pam, and my cousins CJ and Shane

We then went to Palm Springs to visit with May's sister, Rhiannon, and his Mom.

Went to a cactus garden

So happy Aunt Rhiannon got to meet the girls!

In San Jose we were able to visit with Ray, Pauline, and baby Ava.

Then off to Santa Rosa where we got to see May's Dad and Carol.

May's step-brother, Robert, and Lena and new baby Victoria

Came back home and Sey and the crew had an award ceremony on the last Calvary Kids Club night of this year.
