When your Princess is NOT a Princess anymore?


THAT IS ALL I HAVE TOO SAY ABOUT HAVING A TEENAGER IN MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday, April 15, 2011

I can NOT believe that April s almost over!!

So apparently I don't keep this very up to date. We did make it successfully home from PCMC on March 22. Tanner did well and they took him off all his seizure medication. Which I was a bit nervous about at the time, but it has seemed to do well for him. We made a trip down to the Riverton PCMC and saw Dr. Filloux his new neurologist on the 4th of April and he wasmore concerned with Autism and the effect it his having on his little brain than anything else. So we continue off the Medication for seizures---YEAH!!!! And he WAS doing exteremely well UNTIL Tuesday April 12.. Got a phone call from Tanner's school that he had wentA-WALL and the police had ben called and that the Principal and Mrs. Bailey ( LOVE LOVE her) were with him. Even though he was off school Grounds!!THANK YOU TO THEM!! Needless to say Tanner got 2 day suspension and Mrs. Bailey had to go to the ER because he scratched her hand so bad.. Poor lady, but we LOVE her- OH yeah I already mentioned that..Then we found out that he had strep ( like EVERY kid in evanston) possibly why he had the melt down.. Toree is now 13.... Oh my goodness. I went with her to new beginnings on Tuesday, It was noce just me and her.. She is kinda bummed right now. With her foot in the walking boot for the last 6 weeks she had Missed track and swimming alon with soft ball try-outs.. her is to next year. She is on the honor roll and seems to be doing good at the school here. Which is a belssing.. Tayson got his tonsils out on March 25 and we ended up having to re admit him for 3 days because of dehydration and observation.. It took him a while to get over it all, but he is doing well now,, He LOVES pre-school and is quiet the "ladies Man" We love our Mater!!! Don't know what we ever did for entertainment without him!!! Hope all is well with you all and your families!!!!!!!!

Still WAITING

Well we made it safely to PCMC on Friday the 18th and we are still here.. Apparently Tanner's brain has decided not to seize while we are all here.. SO WE WAIT~~!!!!!!!
Then is heart-rate went all crazy so they do a EKG...Of course they show NORMAL!!!
Sugar Gluclose is NORMAL.
They have drawn blood for MORE test, we have stopped seizure medication,we have gone sleep deprived and rode bikes, looked at strope lights and even the hyperventalating..... AND WE WAIT!!!!!
Still NO seizures which is a GOOD and Bad thing, Now we are trying to figure out exactly what the abnormallities in his brain really are!!!
Tommorrow we meet with a nutrionalist to figure out a diet for Tanner at home.
HOME---- we will be there soon. I love the staff at PCMC they are the BEST of the BEST!!! And they are NOT stopping until they figure all this out.... too bad Tanner is so complicated!!! and
WE WAIT!!!!!!!!!

I NEED TO FIND SOMETHING EXCITING TO DO.....WYOMING IS BORING.............

MY "-SS-S-S--SS-W-W--WE-E-E-E-E--T--TT-T" ..... TOREE, GESS I ALMOST COULDN'T GET THAT OUT.. SHE IS A CRAZY BOY LOVING, YELLING AT EVERYONE, THINKS SHE IS THE BOSS PRE-TEEN... HEAVEN PLEASE HELP ME-----I MEAN HER!!! SHE SWIMS, SHE RUNS, SHE DANCES, AND SHE FORGETS TO DO HER HOMEWORK.. BUT, WE LOVE HER.
This 2 weeks ago when Tayson had to have his MRI.. They started his IV and he didnt even bat an eye..... OF COURSE SNOW WHITE, was on. So the building could have fell down around him and he would have been ok until he couldnt see the movie.. Before Christmas we took Tayson to a Pediatric Dentist in Odgen and they of course sent us to PCMC and look at that new smile..

This picture is SOOOOOOOO old but I loved it so much I had to throw it in...


I knoe this is a pathetic picture, look at how sad those eyes are... This was the prep for our 24 hour EEG..... Guess where we wer at?????? ANYONE?????


PRIMARY CHILDRENS....... IF YOU ARE KEEPING TRACK THAT IS 4 VISIT SO FAR. AND I HAVENT INCLUDED TANNER'S FIRST 2 VISITS, TAYSON'S EEG AND I KNOW I WAS DOWN THER FOR SOMETHING ELSE????? IT WILL COME TO ME SOON!!!!
NOW MIND YOU PAUL HAD NEVER--EVER BEEN TO A 'TANNER" EEG, SO ALL THE STORIES HE THOUGHT I TOLD HIM ABOUT TANNER'S REACTION.. WAS A PUSSY-CAT VERSION COMPARED TO THIS PREP...5 IT TOOK 5 OF US TO HOLD HIM WITH ME STRATTLING HOM ON THE BED.. THOSE POOR TECH EARNED THERE MONEY THAT DAY.



OUR NEXT ADVENTURE IS TO TAKE PLACE ON MARCH 18TH. TANNER AND I WILL HEAD DOWN FOR A 3-5 DAY EEG... HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIND OUT WHAT THEY NEED IN 3 DAYS, BUT WITH THAT KID ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE..I BELIEVE HE WILL HAVE TO STAY IN THE NICU, BUT I'M NOT CERTAIN. AS INFORMATION COMES AVAILABLE TO ME I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW..
ANYHOW, JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW 2011 HAS BEEN EXCITING SO FAR.. OH YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION.. PAUL HAD SURGERY AND TAYSON GOT STITCHES IN THE SAME DAY AND I BROKE MY FOOT. (I DON'T REMEMBER IF I BLOGGED THAT) BUT , I JUST WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING ABOUT ME IN THIS STORY..
BRING ON MARCH.... I'M READY FOR YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how I LOVE PCMC!!!!

Now I have often heard people say how they LOVE Primary Childrens Hospital.. Now I know why. I have been there every week, once or twice a week since before Christmas for different test and what NOts with the boys.. And Yes PCMC is AMAZING!!! When I went in on Friday for Tayson's MRI the security gaurd said to me "Well hello Mrs. Spatig, we were wondering when you were coming in again.." Honestly, with the 1.000 of thousands of people that travel those hallways he remembered me.. I cant imagine how some people can NOT think the world of the staff there.. Even Ray the LOYAL and CRAZY MRI tech that is Man enough to sport a BYU nametag necklace there.. Or Nikki the AMAZING EEG tech that didnt even batt an eye at Tanner trying to eat her arm. The Nurses and Doctors are in a breed of their own..
When Tayson got his MRI on Friday Dr. Neilson his neurologist was on the phone with me within 2 hours of his test with the results.. 2 hours!!! I have worked in the healthcare field for MANY MANY Years and have never seen such care and understanding.. To them I say thank you!!! Thank you coe letting me feel like I AM THE ONLY PARENT IN THE HOSPITAL.. Even if it is just for those few moments...

During the Evanston High School Varsity Games they always have a 50/50 cash drawing and the Castle Rock shoot-out!! This is Tanner when his name was called for the Shoot-out.. And the next game we went to he won the 50/50 which was 65.00 (Lucky kid)



Now to meet the people that are
"ROCK-STARS"
If you are visiting this blog for the first-time and live in Evanston, Wyoming. The next time you see one of our WONDERFUL High School students running around town. Just smile at them, because that is the best way I can think of to thank them all. This kids have all taken my Tanner under their wing.. He is the "cool" kid that everyone wants to hang with. This kids go above and beyond anything any High School student should. They love my kid and they dont care what other people say.. So to any of you that are their parents, their coaches, or their teachers. These are GREAT kids that need to know that one mom out there watching them is VERY proud of the way you have raised your kids, coached them and taught them!!!
Thank you Evanston Red Devils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
