Just Audrey...

So it has been a crazy last week, and I think that I am just getting over it, at least enough to blog!!! We went to Children's hospital on Tuesday, and it went really well. It was a long day,but we made it through. Audrey is a champion, she did great, all that worry on my behalf wasn't worth it.
We started the morning with waking up at 3 am (when I say we I mean Audrey and I, Jeremy slept I figured he had to drive home so he needed to be well rested). I did anything I could to keep her awake, she had 2 long baths, a shower, breakfast twice, and a lot of playtime with mom. When it was time to go to her first appointment which was the EEG, Jamie (Jeremy's Sister who works as a Cat scan Tech, [Sorry Jamie I don't know your jobs official name]) met us and showed us a "short cut" to the hospital, Audrey was so tired that the "short cut" seemed like hours, she kept trying to doze off and Jer and I were doing everything to keep her awake. When we got to the hospital we checked in and waited (this seemed to be the theme of the whole day, hurry and wait) Audrey was the life of the hospital, I think that her dad and I learned more from that little girl, she may be a spitfire but she sure has a sweet soul. She loved all the kids there, she didn't see that there was anything different with these kids she just saw kids. She would go and play with the screaming ones, or the sad ones, and she would do anything to make them smile or play with her, everything from laughing with them, hugging them, to patting them, she could tell the kids that needed a little nudge. When is was finally time for the EEG, I guess she did great, I wasn't allowed in the room, but Jeremy was (they would only let one parent in the room) and he said she did everything that she was supposed do. We then went see Jamie's department to see the remodel and to just hang out with the cool people that work there (I am sucking up, but they were great), then we went to lunch and to get a new phone for Jer (that is a whole other post, on another day). Then we went back for her appointment with the neurologist and although her EEG was clean they were able to diagnose Audrey with Complex Partial Seizures (which basically is a seizure that affects a portion of her brain). We still have to go back for follow up appointments, but praise God, she hasn't had a seizure in 31/2 weeks. Like I said before it was a long day, but it was nice to have somethings answered.
Here are so random pics of the "crazy" girl!!!
