Whew! One of my many resolutions was too blog more and here it is the 10th and I have already paid the cuss jar $20.oo and the whole exercise thing yeah well that isn't happening yet either. So let me give you a brief run down of the low down...
Not much has really been happening this year up until the 8th. Went back to work and they are still laying off, not looking good anywhere. Hopefully this will turn around soon, but doesn't sound like it.
So let me talk about the 8th, first Happy Birthday Bighead! Yeah his bday was on the 8th just like Elvis. Went to work, then after work had to go to wally world then home. Just finished putting everything up when I got a call from Kim. All she said was Red I need you over here Jada is having a seizure. I hung up the phone and ran over. Jada was on the bed and all I could see was the whites of her eyes. Kim was putting a cold rag on her head and neck and talking to her to try to bring her around, and she had Sam in a scissor lock with her legs. I took Sam then Kim told me to do what she was doing with Jada cause she had to try to get in touch with Candice who was at work. I was scared as heck. Never been through anything like this before. Jada was unresponsive. I would say her name and nothing. Kim came back in and then her eyes finally came back but still unresponsive. I told Kim to call 911. We took her out in the living room and sat her up we kept trying to get her to respond. We would say her name and she would turn but the she looked through us. Not follow us at all. Help finally got there. They ended up taking her to the hospital. Kim had someone at the mine tell Candice to meet them at the hospital and Kim went with Jada in the ambulance. I stayed with Sam and we waited. Sharon came in and waited with us. Jada is fine, she came home that night. She had what they call a break through seizure and they are just part of cerebral palsy.
When it was just me and Sam in the house, I sat in the rocker and Sam fell right asleep and she slept until they got home with Jada. Kim, Jada and Sam were sleeping in the bed and it was Sam that woke Kim up. She was leaning over Jada jabbering to wake up Kim and that is how Kim found Jada. Then during the whole ordeal when Kim and I were talking and saying Jada's name, Sam was right there with us saying Jada. I didn't realize it at the time, it was when we were in the rocker that I started remembering all of this. Sam was a real trooper. I think she sinced the panic in me and knew Kim was taking care of Jada, and that is why she was helping too. When we would say Jada she would too. What a pretty amazing 9 month old. She is already helping take care of her big sis.
As I said Jada is fine, she is wore out and slept most of the next day, but that is what is expected. Jada has had seizures before but I have never seen one until the 8th. All I kept thinking the entire time was what had been on the news about Travolta's son dying of a seizure so yeah I was scared. They brought Jada home that night she was able to give me a little smile, but she was tired. She fell asleep on my lap. She was exhausted, she slept the rest of the night. And when I went there yesterday after work she was sleeping again. She did get up later and we sat on the floor and played with her toys and Sam. Thank God she is OK and thank God Sam woke Kim up. Love my Bird and Turtle.
