We are still alive...

After a long absence I have finally gotten back on to our blog. Unfortunately our life was completely turned upside down 3 days before Christmas when Natalie started having seizures. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through. In January we had 2 hospitalizations at St. Lukes, and a LONG visit to Seattle Children's Hospital. February was a bit better, we were able to take our trip to Hawaii that had been planned for over a year, Natalie was stable but not much better. March brought a miracle as her seizures stopped. She has now slowly been improving. We went from seeing a happy thriving toddler to her sleeping almost 24 hours a day and having up to 15 seizures per day. She's now seizure free, walking and babbling, not quite yet back to where she should be for almost 2 years old but we are hopeful that she is on the road to recovery. Our life now has more meaning and we have a profound understanding for what really matters in life...healthy kids! We pretty much take it one day at a time...
