I can't believe March is almost over! This year is flying by! Taylor is doing well....hospital free since July(which was planned because of the new diet). We are so thrilled to say we've had a good year! Everything has pretty much been the same, with the exception of Taylor's continued small seizure activity that has started back since Christmas. Weird thing is she only has them when she wakes up from sleeping. It's almost like something in her brain is not connecting right when she wakes up from a nap? I asked her neurologist about this and she said, there's no real answer. The brain is so complex...... Tay continues to have between 2-5 seizures per day lasting anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. We have had to use diastat a couple of times, but she came out of her seizure immediately so we did not have to take her to the hospital. Neuro is adjusting meds and her diet in hopes to find a solution. Taylor also got a back brace in February and wears it typically 3-4 hours a day. We're hoping this will correct some of the curve in her spine. She doesn't seem to mind wearing it, but it is already getting tight. We go back in April and they will probably have to adjust it. Tanner is playing recreation soccer again and LOVING it! He only has a few more weeks left and then he will begin T-Ball. Jeff has decided to coach Tanner's team. This should be fun to watch....Jeff with 11 other 5 year olds......Tanner is so proud and excited that his daddy will be coaching him. They have been practicing hard in the back yard. It melts my heart to see Jeff play with the boys. They admire him so much! Tate is Tate! He makes me laugh and cry! Lol! He hates milk with a passion and we are trying to make him drink it with dinner every night. He often spends 10 extra minutes by himself at the table every night because he doesn't want to drink his milk. A couple of times he feel asleep waiting to drink it. I think he gets his stubbornness from his daddy :-) okay, okay.....maybe from me! Tate still loves bugs, snakes, dinosaurs, and horses. He surrounds himself with toys and can usually entertain himself! Jeff and I are doing well. We are getting ready to celebrate 7th years of being married on April 10th. Hopefully, we'll find time to grab some dinner and a movie! I love Jeff with all of my heart and am so happy to have him for my soul mate! I hope everyone is enjoying the Spring weather! Love to you all.... Tammy
