A Cold in July??

Yep, that is right, Ethan has a COLD.... I'm not sure where he got it from, since it has been so HOT here! :)

We cancelled PT for the day and headed to the doctor (better safe than sorry) and were told that Ethan's cough, running nose and watery eyes were just a cold and that he would just have to work through it.

So, we headed to Springfield for our afternoon ENT and Audiologist appointments. Let's just say Ethan was less than cooperative. We did get impressions for new ear molds made though, and they will be in when we get back from Omaha!

    Okay, I have to start off by saying that Ethan is SO adorable! What a sweet and happy boy he is, I love all the smiles. Thanks for stopping by Cole's blog, I'm not the best with updates. :) I hope Ethan's cold is gone and he is feeling much better. These boys are such precious angels and I feel they have such big hearts. I'm sad to say we won't be able to make it to the conference. With my work schedule and the travel distance it's too much right now. It sounds like it's going to be great gathering and it would be nice to meet everyone else. Please stay in touch and you guys take care! Just remember to keep the faith and stay positive and strong for your little boy. He is doing great. :)

"God Chooses Mom for Disabled Child" by Erma Bombeck

I don't think this is exactly how it works, but I had to share anyway. I believe with all my heart that God does not make mistakes, and although I will fully admit that it hurts my heart that any child is born (or develops) disabilities and/or life threatening illness, I know that God is sovereign and that He has a divine plan (even when we don't understand it!). I believe that God brought Jeff and I together and that He knew Ethan even as he was growing inside of me. While this is not the journey we would have dreamed of or chosen, and there are going to be times (and have been already) when we struggle, stumble and fall  it is our hope that in the end that we will bring glory and honor to the Lord.  God Chooses Mom for Disabled Child Written by Erma Bombeck Published in the Today Newspaper Sept. 4th, 1993 Most women become mothers by accident, some by choice, a few by social pressures, and a couple by habit.

Faces of Peroxisomal Biogenesis Disorders

This Saturday we are hosting the first annual Pancakes for PBD benefit.  All the proceeds will go to the Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders to help offset the costs for our family and others like us to attend this summer's 2012 Family Support Conference in Orlando, FL.  We hope that this will become an annual tradition and allow us to help raise awareness and money for peroxisomal biogenesis disorders. Here are just a few of the faces of PBD.

Here we go again!

Yesterday, our family got to take another trip to the ER. Just a little after 7am, after I had fed Ethan breakfast and gave him his morning medications, he and I came into the living room to play before we had to get ready to leave for school. Ethan had 5 seizures, each lasting 10 to 15 seconds, back to back. Jeff had not yet left for work so I had him get the Diazepam, Ethan's rescue medication, and we gave it to him. The Diazepam is supposed to stop the cluster seizures, but it didn't. The seizures continued and didn't show any signs of stopping so the three of us packed up and headed off to the ER. By the time we arrived at the ER the drowsiness that is a side effect of the Diazepam was very evident, and although Ethan wasn't sleeping, he was definitely out of it. He had another small seizure shortly after we got to the hospital while we were being checked in. Once again his vitals were monitored and blood taken. The doctor spoke on the phone with our neurologist...
