FINALLY CHUCK E CHEESE!!!!

JYMANI HAS BEEN WANTING TO GO TO CHUCK E CHEESE SINCE THE FALL AND WITH THE FLU SEASON THAT JUST WAS NOT A POSSIBILITY!   SO WE GOT THE OKAY FROM HIS PEDIATRICIAN THIS PAST MONTH THAT JYMANI IS NO LONGER IMMUNE SUPPRESSED...HE WAS EVEN ABLE TO HAVE HIS SHOTS FOR KINDERGARTEN!!!  SO TO CHUCK E CHEESE WE WENT... JUNE 9, 2010!  IT WAS QUITE AN ADVENTURE AS JYMANI DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT HE COULD NOT RUN AWAY FROM US.  BUT HE WAS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE A LITTLE TIME THERE AND THERE HAVE FUN PLAYING ALL THE GAMES...JUST BEING ABLE TO BE A LITTLE BOY AGAIN!!!  WITH HIS TICKETS HE BOUGHT A CHUCK E CHEESE SOCCER BALL.......HE WAS SO HAPPY!!!

2 seizures in May......

Jymani had two very typical seizures in May.  He is being followed by a new Neurologist at Gillette in St Paul, MN.  We are hoping we can switch medication as we just found out one of his seizure medications lowers the ability to sweat.....thus causing Jymani to overheat...which generally brings on a seizure. Unfortunately, his Neurologist is more concerned about treating Jymani's behaviors and we will work on changing seizure meds once we have the outbursts and inability to control himself better under control.  In the mean time, I have started a Seizure binder to start tracking Jymani's seizures and hopefully pinpointing why he keeps having them and what (if anything) I can do to stop them from coming on!!

Projects @ School!!

Jymani brought his first project home from school and he was so proud of what he had made.  His VERY OWN binoculars!!!!!  I am so proud of him!!

{ApRil 27 2o1o} Buddy Goes to School!!

Jymani is now attending Early Childhood at Rondo in St Paul.  His teachers are great with him and he seems to really enjoy going!  Unfortunately, this will be short lived unless we can get a cooling vest for him as the weather plays a factor in weather he attends school or not, because of his heat intolerance/seizures.

{mAy 2Nd 2o1o} A beautiful Spring day at the MN Zoo!!

We were able to take Jymani on a family trip to the Zoo!  Thank you to our daughter Jyacia who received enough free tickets from her school for all of us to go!!  It was an absolutely gorgeous day and the weather was perfect for our little man to enjoy the entire day!!  He loved all the animals (especially the monkeys)!!!  He got some great exercise while we were there and he was not afraid of any of the animals!!  It was an amazing day!!  I am so thankful.......
