The Memorial and a crazy week.

Every year we celebrate the Memorial of Christs Death. What a really special occasion when we reflect on what he has done for us. We also take family pics every year on that night as everyone is dressed up so nicely. Since the boys have been little I have always dressed them in tuxedo's for that special night. Not to sure how long that tradition will last but I love that they look forward to it for now.

Here are some pics of that special night.










Onto our crazy week part.
Broc woke up screaming Saturday night that his eyes were hurting him. We thought it was an allergy thing cause we had been working in the yard at the Kingdom Hall. I put in some eye drops but nothing seemed to work. I was up for a couple hours with him then eventually he cried himself to sleep. Woke up in the morning like nothing had happened.Except for a very tired mommy.
Sunday night he did the same thing but was also complaining of his head too so I have him some motrin this time. Both Mark and I were up with him for a couple hours and then he fell alseep crying again.
Monday at the Memorial he fell asleep on my lap as we had the later one. He started jerking in his sleep and choked twice while he was sleeping. It brought back memories of when he reacted to the medication back in July 2012 when he had the myclonic jerking. This went on for a few minutes then stopped and happened again. It was snowing out so Mark went to get the car for us and took Broc with him.
By the time he had pulled the car up to the door and I was climbing in Broc was screaming again. His eyes and head were hurting him so bad.He cried all the way home and we felt totally helpless just wanting to get home as soon as possible.
We gave him motrin and tylenol this time. I layed with him in his be until he fell asleep.Mark and I decided that we needed to call the Dr in the morning.He woke up Tuesday morning so nauseous and headache. We saw Dr Moustafa and he said this could be serious from brain bleeds and tumors to a crazy virus that has attacked his head and eyes.
Wednesday we saw the Opthalmologist to rule out any eye pressure or issues with his eyes. We were given great news that Broc has no pressure and no issues with his eyes. He even has 20/20 vision in both eyes. Broc was not impressed when they had to dilate his eyes.It took 3 of us to hold him down but we got it done.



 
When we found out Brocs eyes were good we scheduled his EEG. We managed to get him in this Friday. Dr Moustafa wanted to rule out seizures.





Broc did really well during his EEG. He fought going to sleep but once he did he was out!! Nothing like a yummy slice of pizza to make everything ok , and we stopped at the store after we picked Mark up from school to choose a dinosaur. Cause you can never have too many dinos in there world.

We will get the results on Tuesday hopefully. We are hoping that this is just a crazy virus that is causing all of this and nothing else. Today Broc is still dealing with a headache and some nausea.
