We have already had our family Christmas and we are leaving in the morning to go and visit family for the Christmas holiday. The children are excited and happy to see family we have not seen in two years. This is the longest we have not gone to see the family since my parents and I moved to Texas in the 70's.
We were not sure about going and have been playing it by ear. A week ago, Makaela fell down the stairs at my In-Laws and twisted her ankle (or so we thought). She ended up having dislocated a bone (that had to be reset) and banged it up really good. She is now having to wear a brace for two weeks. In addition to that we had a scare with her eyes. The eye Doctor said she needed to see a pediatric specialist, so this past Thursday we had her at Texas Children's, thankfully they said the pressure and depression with her optical nerve, that her Doctor saw was not a major concern. The pressure was somewhat normal and the optical nerve, they would just keep an eye on it. We are to take her back in three months. That was a blessing.
With all of that going on, we were just not sure and then on Wednesday night, during our Christmas celebration, Allen Jr. had a seizure. It is his first one in at least 8 years or more. He has been seizure free for a long time now and has been off his seizure medications for the last 8 - 9 years. It did not last very long, so we just kept him home. Called all of his Doctors on Thursday morning to make them aware and would keep them posted if anything changed.
Through all of this we still feel very blessed and we are thankful for all the Lord has done and continues to do.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
