Praise God...the EEG was normal!

my little rapunzel
these leads didn't get in the way of her playing
sleeping in daddy's arms
We are so thankful to the Lord that we can say her EEG was normal! She really didn't have very many of the episodes during the study (I believe due to your prayers) and the ones she had did not show any seizure activity. He diagnosed her with benign non-epileptic myoclonus. He said she should outgrow it by the time she is a year, maybe 2 years and the prognosis is excellent!!!
Emery Kate did so well with the whole thing. They had to glue the leads to her head and she did so well with it all. She is so sweet and we are so thankful that it is not seizures going on inside of her! Thank you for praying for her. We know she is loved. God is so good! I know He would be good even if they were seizures, but He is so gracious to us!
Blake had a CT scan this morning as well and so hopefully we will know in the next week or so whether he needs surgery! Keep him in your prayers. Thanks again!

Emery Kate and Daddy are such a cute couple at David and Kristen's wedding!
thank you for the beautiful dress Joy!
It is hard being a parent. Blake and I are realizing this. You don't want anything to be wrong with your child and yet things happen. First, Emery Kate had her first cold this week. It is so sad seeing them with a fever and horrible cough and runny nose. The sweet thing was that she was so cuddly. She would snuggle with us to fall asleep which she normally doesn't do anymore. It melts my heart. I know she is just going to get more independent and so I cherish those moments.
Secondly, for those of you who read this blog I ask that you would pray for her. She has been having these little spasms starting last week. We were sent to a neurologist on Friday and he believes they sound like infant seizures. These can be very neurologically devestating if not treated. Obviously, Blake and I are very concerned. We did a short EEG on Friday and it was negative...praise God, but he wants us to do a 24 hour EEG this week and possibly an MRI. So, please pray that everything will be okay and that they will figure out what is causing this or that these spasms would stop. It hurts Blake and I to watch her go through these. She is the sweetest baby in the world. We love her so much!
Thank you for believing with us that God is our healer and He is GOOD! We know that he knows what is best for Emery Kate and we just have to trust Him.

Ribbie Clippies & other cute pics!

Blake's aunt Kim starting a company called Ribbies Clippies and she sells adorable clips that stay in little girls fine hair. They are so cute. Emery Kate's hair is too short for clips, but I just found out that she also sells these adorable headbands. She also sells pacifier holders. Check out her website at www.ribbiesclippies.com or you can buy them at target.com.
Emery Kate loves her Uncle J.
She is playing with the doll her Aunt B made her!

Random pic...Steph thanks for making this adorable outfit for EK. It looks so cute on her! Can't wait for Tucker to come!
We had a great trip to Cascade National Park in Washington state. It was so beautiful and I just loved the time with my family. We are truly blessed to all enjoy each other so much! We hiked a lot, went white water rafting, enjoyed canoeing and newcomb (sp?) ball. It was all so fun.
Family, I learned so much from all of you during our devotionals. Thank you for sharing your hearts and your passions. I am challenged by you all.
Dad & Mom, I love you both so much and am so thankful for getting to go on this trip together! We will have to do another one soon :)

Emery Kate is three months old today! What a joy she has been to me and Blake. She is smiling now and giggling. I love it! It melts our hearts. She is such a good baby. She sleeps 11-12 hours at night, takes good naps, nurses in 6 minutes and is content to run errands all day with her mommy. Could I ask for a better baby? I am so blessed and thank God each day for her. To all my pregnant friends...you are going to LOVE being a mom!
