Nero Test


More testing. It is thought that Layden is having systematic seizures and to be sure Layden is undergoing an EEG Electroencephalogram. T his is the most common test used to diagnose epilepsy. 







His doctors attached electrodes to his scalp. ... Then run test to stimulate his seizures. 

Before getting hooked up, Layden and I people watched and played I spy out his hospital room window. 





This process is full on and Layden has nervous, but Dad and I were with him.





Trying to be still.
My baby boy needs me. 

Making the process fun. 






He's starting to look like a Q-tip.




The moment he realizes there are wires coming out his head.



A light test to stimulate a seizure. 


Oxygen Deprivation Test to stimulate his seizure. At this point we are all getting emotional. It's hard to know he some going to be having seizures that we caused. Sorry Bubby. 


Back to people watching with my little Q-tip.





Children' Hospital Trivia TV Show. Layden got every answer correct, got 3 prizes.




Ice Cream .








The test showed Layden did not have any seizures while we were in the hospital.

Thanksgiving in Steamboat Springs

Anyone who knows Chris and I knows we are not the biggest fans on traditional holidays, especial Thanksgiving.  I would rather use this time to make memories. 

Thanksgiving Break 2018
Steamboat Springs, Colorado


Can't see Athena's face. 

Can see Athena but Ryleigh is possessed. 

Better

Say Cheese. 
Can't get a good picture to save my life. 

The drive looks good. 

Got to Steamboat and had to eat... immediately. 

Back Door Grill

Layden's eyes are dark and he's feeling ok. Fingers crossed he feels ok to enjoy our family holiday.


Adding to the wall by adding to other peoples dollars because Chris and I are to cheap. JK. We don't have any dollars.



It says BONER... 


Ryleigh is in heaven with this Philly cheese steak. 

Crazy Hamburger, what did I order. And yes, it was painful later. 


Getting a look at his burger.

Poor Layden, look at those eyes. I was so worried. 

These two.


Before getting attacked. 

These two. 

I took the picture before checking...


Isn't Vacation and we are eating again. 





When is it so hard to get a group photo with everyone looking at the same time. 

Brothers. 


Bother and Sisterly love. 




We love going to the movies while we are in the mountains. Took a short walk to the theater to watch Thor Ragnorock.
Layden is doing well. Yay!



 So excited. 

Spent the rest of the evening cooking with Layden and Athena. Then playing pool at the club house. 

This shit is going to be delicious. 

Chicken Pot Pie. 

How can you help, get out of my kitchen. 




Athena and Layden even set the table. As you can see no drink for Chris and I. Why? Because we have wine and beer. 



Taking a break from Layden 



Club House Fun. Pool is the new favorite game. Little do they know Chris and I can play and kick their asses. 



It's not vacation unless we get in a tennis match or two. 
Chris is coaching... don't listen he doesn't play tennis. But I do. 

Chris's face says it all... so does Ryleigh.


 

So fun. 

More family cooking.  This time Pizza or something like that. 


They are good looking young men. 

Helping by drinking. 
Too young, Athena.

Two wine glasses.

Doesn't look like a pizza but how does it taste?
