Halloween

I can't believe it has been almost a month and a half since my last update! My world has been a little (ok, a lot) hectic since the beginning of October. Things are starting to calm down a little bit, but with the Holidays quickly approaching that won't last long!

First, it's been over a year since Madison's last seizure. Her medicine she's on is working right now & that is such a praise. I pray it continues to work, because we know from her last EEG she would likely be having seizures if not on her medicine... And that is not something I ever want to have to see again. Last Halloween was actually the date of her last seizure(s), and we were in the hospital with her during that time. This Halloween was special to us because it was actually her first official Halloween she got to get out & actually go trick-or-treating (even though we just went to families' houses). What would have been her first Halloween she was sick & running fever so we weren't able to get her out, and then last Halloween, as I said, we were in the hospital with her. 

She had a great time. She liked seeing everyone & she loves being scared! I would hide, jump out & scare her, and she would just laugh & laugh! I love hearing that laugh she does when she thinks something is hilarious & it's a deep belly laugh. We call it her "evil laugh." Jake said she had a "Halloween Christmas" from all the goody bags & treats she got. She is so loved & I'm so thankful for how close our families are. She was supposed to be Minnie Mouse. She wouldn't wear her ears, but she was still pretty cute! 😊🎃
