Its over!!!

I will be so glad when this weekend is over! I am ready to start a new week on Sunday with Amber's baby shower,hoping this will get my new week started on the right foot!
After getting the EEGs "unknown meaning" results on Tuesday we still didn't get an appointment to the neurologist until Thurs at 5:40pm. We also received a call from American Family Insurance telling us our neighbors homeowners insurance will only cover $1,000 worth of damage to our van. Great Birthday--Right?? O'well, we did go to dinner at Ameristar with Pam and Herman and went to visit Amber and Jason. Dex took the kids home and I went to Jimmy and Patrice's new home to hang out with them, Steph and Nina. It is always nice to have a few glasses a wine when you need it!!
At the neurology appointment we learned so much and alot of our worries were put to rest. Being a nurse we like to educate families and warn them about the wonderful power of GOOGLE. Well, I should have listened to my own advise on Wed. night. because the more I Googled the more I was freaking out. I totally diagnosed Preston with frontal lobe seizures based on my interpretation of the EEG results. I was reading so much about frontal lobe seizures and how they affect personality, behavior and intelligence. Also, 45% of frontal lobe seizures were caused by some kind of brain tumor. Yes, can you believe I did this??? Well I should have known better, maybe my day would have gone over a bit better. I was so worried that my "P" was going to have problems and not succeed because of something no one can control. Well, lets just say I was WAY wrong. Basically, Preston has been diagnosed with Partial Complex Seizures from the temporal lobes. When a person has an EEG it a very generalized test. It is not accurate to diagnose where the seizures are coming from. EEG's basically show the electrical activity in the brain.When you have an abnormal EEG it basically means that electrical activity in your brain is functioning abnormally and you are at risk for having a seizure at any time. Diagnosis of where and what kind of seizures are going on are based on descriptions of the seizure and an MRI. Based on our stories of P's seizures this is what the neurologist thinks is going on and we are set to have an MRI done on April 13 th. Once we get the MRI results back we will talk about treatment options the doc even said that this may be something he could grow out of. For now, we are being a little over protective toward P. I don't think Dex and I have really let him out of our sight for long. We are worried and scared that it could happen again and he could get hurt. The neurologist warned us to protect his head from any injuries, not to allow him to bathe or swim alone and watch were he is playing closely. We have to think about if he were to have a seizure at any moment would his location be harmful to him?? After talking to the doc we think that P may have had an "Ora" with his last seizure. It is common with these seizures to have abdominal pain or a heartburn pain prior to having a seizure and when we were taking P to the birthday party he kept saying his tummy was hurting? Who knows if it was just coincidental or really a precursor! We are feeling more optimistic about things after our appointment today.
We finally also got 2 estimates on the van today and have about $8,000-$10,000 in damage. We are having to make a claim on our car insurance policy to have the car fixed since the neighbors home coverage sucks but o-well they are paying our deductible and it will not go against us or raise our premiums. We now have a candy apple red Chevy HHR--okay this car is so ugly. I refuse to drive it!!! It'll be me and my monster truck this week!
