Bass Pro Shop Adventures - December 11, 2014

Ethan's class went to the Bass Pro Shop this morning to see Santa. This was Ethan's first field trip! His first time riding a bus! His first time in Bass Pro! His first time walking around a store! I know I've said it before, but I feel so blessed by Ethan's school experience so far this year and by the amazing teachers, assistants, therapists, and support staff who are part of our team. Thank you so much!


My first time on the bus. All loaded up and ready to go!



We're here! Get me off this bus and out of this chair!


I'm not exactly sure what I think about snow people....
Just walking around, exploring the store. (Ethan had to stop and rest frequently, but he did a TON of walking this morning. It was great. He seemed to really enjoy making choices about where he wanted to go. It was just wonderful to see him explore a completely new environment.)


Hi. I think I might need one of these!


Visiting with Santa.

I'm done, can we go already?

On the bus, headed back to school.

"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...
