I know that I have been so bad about updating the blog lately. We haven't been doing anything too exciting. It has helped that Nathan has been sick so much. Last Saturday we did take advantage of some nice weather and drove to Annapolis just for a quick ride. It was 60+ degrees in Springfield, but by the Chesapeake it was about 40 and very windy. We drove through the Naval Academy and got some lunch so that we cold have a picnic at Sandy Point State Park. We were lucky we had some old sweatshirts in the back of the van - it was freezing. Our picnic was over and done with in about 10 minutes. It was a nice drive though.

Nathan was taken back to the hospital on Thursday by EMS. He just started acting kind of out of it and was breathing really shallow. We thought he might be having a seizure (unlike any he had before). Once we got to the ER he started to get a little better only to have a seizure a few minutes later. We aren't sure what is causing these seizures be we suspect it has something to do with Nathan's sodium levels. If your sodium levels are too low you can have a seizure and if they are WAY TOO low you could die. We aren't sure if Nathan just needs more salt in his feeds or if his body is leaking it out. Since we are so good at begging - they let us come home last night. He is doing much better - he just has a few follow ups in the next few weeks. He is such a trooper.

Addie is doing good. She had a follow up with the plastic surgeon and he is going to do a quick touch up to her lip and nose in the next month.

    Annapolis is beautiful!

    Praying Nathan's sodium levels are normalize! Keep us posted as to why his levels are so low. :)

  2. I'm finally catching up on my blog reading! So sorry to hear Nathan's been having a rough time...hopefully he is doing better now. I'll keep him in my prayers and Addison too, when does she go back to the plastic surgeon? Lily will have another palate surgery in the summer when she turns 3 (for the soft palate).
