And our options are.............

Well I wish I could say. The list did come out and for Zach's rank and career field there were 6 slots for Minot in North Dakota and one for Barksdale in Lousianna. Unfortunately 2 hours after the list came out Cody had another siezure and is now limited to where we can go due to the medication he is on and the chances of him having more siezures. If the siezure had been under 2 minutes then things wouldn't be so bad, but it lasted 12 and he took an hour to really come out of it. This was while taking anti siezure meds. So now we start over with meds for Cody, start over with options for moving which leaves us right where we were earlier in the day.....back at square one!

Cody is doing fine and I am slowly catching up on sleep after losing a night in the ER. The new meds are not chewable tablets so I am trying to figure out how to teach him to swallow them! I have paperwork to turn in and a copy of the doctor's notes are to be everywhere Cody is so I have to go get copies for both preschools, one for Zach and I to keep with us at all times and for friends that might have to watch him for more than a few hours. I have to talk to the school nurse and CDC about Cody's diastat. It is something we have to keep with us in case he has another siezure that goes over 5 mintes. We then get him to the ER becuase it can cause breathing problems.

Will things slow down? I sure hope so. Will we know my May 15th where we are moving? Probably not. I still hope we do, but things are more complicated now. Will we survive this? I know we will. I have great friends that are here to help. Twice Tyler and Ryan have been taken in for unplanned sleepovers making it easier to be with Cody. Am I doing fine? That seems to be the question I get the most right now. And of course I say yes, but honestly this is all a lot to take in.

So for now be looking for more moving updates! Hopefully we will have a better idea of what will happen in the next month or two.

Oh oh cody. What a sweet little trooper. We love you guys & hope you get McChord, for selfish reasons of course, then you'd only be two hours away instead of 2 plane rides away!

Marie, that is rough--all the way around. So scary too. You ARE a survivor and somehow this will all work out one way or another.
