whew!!!

I had what I hope is my last visit with Dr. Filloux. He is a nice guy and all but I just hope that there is never a reason to go back. I got a letter a few weeks ago telling me to bring him down to the clinic. At first I didn't think much of it, but as my mind started to wander. The What-ifs began to emerge. My Mom came with me and I took the other two kids to my fathers work to hang out. The doctor looked over his notes and pulled up an mri image of Coltons brain. He showed me the spot on his brain that the radiologist had attributed to an in-utero brain injury. He then told me that the radiologist was incorrect and that he was just saying that to cover his bases. What it turned out be was there is a blood vessel going thru the brain at that point and it was simply a little extra fluid surrounding it. It is something that he said happens in about half of all kids. WHEW!!! The only thing that sucks is that for the last three months I have been trying to figure out how in the world I had harmed my baby. More than a few doctors asked me if I had been hit, fell down or in an accident. For the life of me I couldn't figure it out. I am just glad to know that it is not my fault! The only thing that was of concern to him was that I have a family history of epilepsy. But he isn't convinced that is what it was. Colton is now off of phenobarbital and we will just watch him. If he doesn't have another seizure in the next 6 months, the Dr. says he will write it off as a fluke. So please please please everyone cross your fingers and say a few prayers if you have some laying around. :)
The kids are well settled in school and are doing good. Chloe is up at the butt crack of dawn every morning and dressed before most anyone is even thinking about hitting the snooze button. Dylan seems to enjoy his class and has been making some awesome friends.
I have been finding a lot of old friends on facebook. I have been shocked the past couple of months at who I am able to reconnect with. (you all know who you are!) It is so much fun to see where everyones lives have led them. Every few days I get a friend request from someone I haven't seen in years. I love it!
Oh and I am now down 23 pounds!! YAY ME!! I am 1/3 of the way to my goal. I am feeling great. I am fitting into clothes that I haven't been able to comfortably wear since before Colton. Newer clothes are now getting too big, awwww poor me.
