Never make plans or arrangements with any member of our family. They will in evidently change at the last minute.
Lesson 2:
Do not panic when you see a mickey button lying on the floor next to the baby, especially if the baby is SMILING.
Lesson 3:
Wash mickey button with soap and put it back down – tape it to baby’s tummy.
Lesson 4:
It is possible to resume modified Halloween plans.
Lesson 5:
You will drive to Atlanta for the third time in one week, this time to the ER.
Lesson 6:
No one is available in radiology on Halloween evening – to replace the noted mickey button. You will be admitted; you will spend the night; and you will wait….and wait….and wait. You will be bored and you will buy things in the gift shop not really needed.
Lesson 7:
If you are my husband, maybe now you have learned why I always take an overnight bag – even if the procedure should only take 10 minutes. I assume there will be no more eye rolling from now on?
Lesson 8:
Always take the PINK NOTEBOOK!
Lesson 9:
Always count your blessings.
Lesson 10:
Tell everyone who helps you and your family how valuable they are. Tell them how much they are appreciated. Tell them how thankful you are they are part of your life. Tell them that in fact NO, you could not do things without their help. Tell them they are loved.
Thank you Mom, Dad, Tasha, Lowery and G&G gang. Thank you Matt, Knox and Walker.
This is what a mickey button-less baby looks like on Halloween afternoon. Notice no costume - More to come.
Please, if you are in our area, I will be posting some interesting information about our community. You will need to read the information before Monday. So many of you have asked 'How Can I Help' - I have a job for you to act upon -
Did you know that November is national epilepsy month? And since Ivey is medically inclined to have seizures, I would like to leave you with the link to a friend’s blog about her daughter and their life with seizures. I have had several people ask me what it is like when Ivey seizes or what she looks like. How would you know if she is seizing? Ivey tends to have ‘twitching’. Kelly is a great advocate for her daughter Jenelle. Go to Jenelle’s Journey.

Sounds like quite a week. Hope you're recovering and can't wait to read what else you have to add. We need to try to grab that cup of coffee on your next trip to Atlanta...
I raised two handicapped boys, my oldest son has grand mol siezures, it's hard to see it happen to your child..
I remember a dance my youngest son went to, he was about 8 yrs. old, he was dancing with a little girl... He did not notice that she walked with braces, and she did not notice that my son could not talk to well... they just had fun! I learned a lot that night..
Why can't the world Not notice and just accept the gifts everyone has to offer, We might all just learn something of value!
Brightest Blessings to ALL...
