Current Mood: pretty much worn out!
okay, seizure numero trece this week. this one was kinda weird. i was bringing her home from gma/gpas and when we got in the garage, she opened the door and i opened mine. i looked over at her and she was holding her head like shed bumped it. weird thing is that a, i didnt hear anything-- usually you can hear it when someone bumps their head, at least if its hard enough. b, as alluded to, if she had hit her head, it probably wasnt even hard enough to make her start crying. so i tried to calm her down, but she wasnt stopping. one of those emotional ones- theyre super annoying. so anyway, i thought maybe i could get her inside fast enough or that it wouldnt be full blown (AKA: grand mal). when i started to get her inside, she wanted to go the other way- she wasnt able to think, but the other way, there was not enough room for us to get through. so i laid her down in between the car and the snowblower... sweet. she was flat on her back- there wasnt enough room for me to be able to turn her on her side. i know i would need aaron's assistance, so as soon as i laid her down, i ran in and told him to come out. he came out and *shut the garage door... later, we found out it wasnt the smartest move*. we let her have it out and as soon as it started to calm down, i decided that we should just go ahead and get her inside... hahahaha- not so funny. i literally used all my energy right there. shes on a med that gives her a pretty big appetite, so shes gained a lot of weight(enough that my dads scared to get her on the scale-- what might she think?). anyway, as we got her up, there was only about a foot between the garage door and my car! how convenient. really, i need about 2 feet to be able to have a grip on her and get her moving. well, that reminds me... ya know how a baby is a lot heavier when theyre sleeping? try to imagine a full-grown adult and trying to carry her. we werent carrying her, but we might as well have been. anyway, next obstacle, theres a big like, some kind of table taht belongs to my gpa- either were keeping it or just storing it- anyway, its just in the way that we had another one foot width to fit through, tops. mmm. we had to go sideways through that one. then obstacle number three, the 2 steps that come into the house. ugh. all was pretty much okay from there- or at least easier. (felt kinda bad b/c its dirty out and she had her shoes on and we JUST got our carpets cleaned yesterday).got her into the bedroom and sat her on her bed. it took her about 5 minutes before i got her to actually lay down... keep in mind, shes sleeping through ALL this. oh yeah, and on problem with laying her flat on her back: i couldnt turn her on her side so she had basically no way to let out the saliva. she got somestuck in her throat- hopefully thats taken care of by now. ok. enough typing for now- hope you had tons of fun reading!
*britt, i think thats workout enough to ALMOST say, those were my pushups for the night, but oh well. i could use the exercize!
