The new seizure medicine we started last Tuesday seems to be making a difference. Tennyson has had only one seizure since we began. I really pray this medicine is what we have been waiting for. We will be steadily doubling the dose each week for the next 3 weeks.
Tennyson will be switching pre-schools in the fall since we are moving. I had no idea that pre-school admission was so competetive, not to mention how early the admission process starts. I called in mid-March, which to my surprise, was the middle of admissions for next fall. Am I the only parent who seems to be behind on everything - all the time? Sheesh! There are six children applying (Tennyson being one of them), and only 2-3 openings. My husband and I went and had a school tour and met with therapists and teachers. It will really be an amazing school for Tennyson to attend. They follow a curriculum, so it's not a glorified daycare, which was one of my concerns. The only thing I'm a bit nervous about is the frequency she has to attend. Five days a week, from 8am to 3pm. It seems like a lot for a 3 year old to take in. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.
Tennyson will be baptized on Saturday April, 14th! We bought her white dress and shoes yesterday. I'm so excited our families will be able to be there on such an important day for her. I hope to have many adorable pictures to share.
Tenny and her cousin Chloe are going to be flower girls in their Uncle Josh's wedding! The outfits the bride has chosen are so adorable! Tenny's Nana made purple tutus wrapped with kelly green ribbon and the girls will wear white long sleeved leotards, white tights, and white shoes. Trying to find a hair clips in the exact colors was challenging, so I made my own! I will be happy to share a tutorial post if anyone is interested.
My camera is out of commission at the moment. It's a new camera I just received for Christmas, so I'm a little bummed I didn't get to use it for very long before it started having issues. So, if you've been wondering why there haven't been any adorable pictures of the blog star, that's why. I've been using an older camera, and it's just not up to par.
We met with an estate planning attorney last week to discuss setting up a special needs trust for Tennyson. We have a second meeting next Thursday with a different attorney who specializes more in special needs trusts. It's something we have wanted to do for a long time to make sure Tennyson would be well taken care of, should anything happen to my husband or myself.

ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find out how early registration is for the fall for preschool here, as well. Nathan won't actually be in "real" preschool until after he turns three in 2013, but even for just MDO some of the places here began registration in JANUARY. Um, what?
It made my heart do a little squeeze-y thing when I read that you've been following us for a year. Sometimes I feel like there are really only a few people following us consistently, but when I read that I realized that there are people out there who, like you, are watching and reading. I hope we've brought a little sunshine into your life these past 12-ish months.
Have a sunny day!
