4 Paws 4 Mason and Olivia

New school year

August 22, 2013
Mason is in 3rd grade and Olivia is starting kindergarten this year has started out a little rough.  I am having a tough time with the schools giving the kids the things they need.  I am a fighter and will keep fighting until they make it right.  Mason and Olivia are both on new meds and they are both doing pretty good.  Olivia has had several grand mal seizures in her sleep so we are keeping a close on her we will see how she does with the school day this year.  She is going full time and I am nervous she is going to be really tired.  She starts next week, Mason started today and he had a great day!!  I am looking forward to what this new year brings.
 

I hate seizures

October 14, 2011
Poor Mason has been having multiple seizures at least a couple days of the week again.  He gets really tired by the end of the week, he has missed several days of school, because he is so exhausted.  The school is accommodating his absence because they know it's from the seizures, but he is still missing out on school work.  I wish I could waive a wand and just make them go away!

Changes

July 15, 2011
Well lots has changed since I last posted. Mason and Olivia were having increased seizures due to the summer heat and I had missed some work, and they were not happy.  So we made a family decision that it would be best for me to be home to care for them.  We have a long difficult road ahead, but I have faith in God and that he will take care of us!  We reached our goal for our travel expenses so now the count down begins!  Thank you to everyone for the continued prayers and support!!

Mason update

June 23, 2011
So it's been awhile since I have posted anything.  It has been anything but quiet for us.  Olivia was in the hospital in May for some testing, so far all is normal.  Mason and Olivia are going to be enduring some genetic testing to see if we can get to the bottom for the seizures.  I am working on finishing up raising the last $900 we need for travel, and am trying to catch Mason having some seizures to send in some clothing to 4 Paws for his dog to begin learning Mason's smells!  We are almo...

Seizures

January 7, 2011
Took Mason to the neurologist and they did an EEG.  We found out that his is having a lot of seizure activity in several parts of his brain!  The doctor said to expect Mason to have a grand mal seizure it is more than likely to happen.  He has a lot going on when he sleeps so we will be making some changes at home until we get his seizure dog.  We have to get blood work done and then go back and talk about adding an additional medication to help eliminate some of the seizures.  I will ...

Birthday

September 18, 2010
Mason celebrated his 6th birthday on Monday, I can't believe he is that old!  He is doing really well, the medication seems to be keeping the seizures at bay so we are keeping our fingers crossed.  We are working hard on fundraising I am hoping to be done by the end of the year...we will see.
