Aidan, hiding his swollen and bruised nose, from a drop seizure. I wasn't trying to take a pic of his nose, but he sure was worried about it. :(
This time he was running to catch up with his dad when it happened. The force involved was just shocking. I felt awful because it not only hurt so bad it took his breath away, it made him feel bad about himself. He apologized several times- I asked him why he was apologizing, he never could answer. I'm horrified he'd feel like it was his fault and be so embarrassed. I'm just going to say it. That night I was really angry with the seizures. It's like fighting a nasty bully that you can't ever catch. My protective mothering in me wants to absolutely clobber Epilepsy. Sounds totally crazy, I don't care, because it's true. Today he even showed me a big bruise on his arm from it, that I hadn't noticed. He normally doesn't show me his bruises and such, he's too big for that. But he was explaining why he'd yelled out in pain- he'd bumped it.
Jace was sampling the ingredients of my homemade granola bars. He looks great in this pic, but just an hour later looked like death. He was already over tired at this point, but wow it started to really show in his eyes and seizures later!
No pics of Damon, sorry. He was a royal pill this afternoon and evening and I wasn't going to encourage it with photos. lol The babe needs rest I guess, because his 'tude was just awful. :)
The IEP this week wasn't at all what I expected. Course, I'm not sure I even expected anything. Aidan will receive the home visits he requires, 1/2hr twice a week, for math only. This is what I asked for. I'm hoping this will take a bit of the pressure off, and that they really will earn mine and Aidan's trust back. Totally different people, and there's no reason they shouldn't. And hopefully they don't take the entire 60 days they "have" to get it up and running. O.o
SO glad it's the weekend!... not that it's less work, it's just different work!
