What's Happened to Us??????

I Know What You Did Last Winter....

That's how I feel I should start out my return to the blogging world. What a joke...posting the Halloween pics next week...

Okay, so it's been awhile. I get it. Sorry to anyone who follows my blog. What a crazy life I lead.

The most recent change in our family is the addition of a new puppy, Palin. She is a golden retriever who is now 4 months old. She is bigger than Boo, our beagle now. Overall, she is a good dog. She does like to bark at night when Rob and I are watching TV which really sets us off.

Also- on January 18,2009, Taesun hit his head on a banister upstairs while playing tug of war with Addison. It was no different than any other bonk we've seen. I guess it was mother's intuition when I knew something was wrong. I showed up to church late that day with a pack of ice and a bit relieved after speaking to the dr on call who told me not to worry. If he developed other symptoms, then I needed to take him to the ER. Otherwise, it should be fine.

Fast forward to TWO days later... yes a whopping 48 hrs later, he threw up while I was taking the girls to the bus stop. He just laid there in his puke and I knew to call the dr. They saw us right away and sent us to St. Elizabeth to get a CT scan. Once at St. E's and after the scan, I was told OVER THE PHONE, that my son had a fractured skull, a 2 mm depression in his skull, and a subdermal hematoba, which is a blood clot in his brain. We were sent to Children's Hospital in Cincy and sat there for 6 hrs. They sent us home with orders to watch him extremely carefully. After two agonizing weeks we had the second CT scan last Saturday where I found out that everything looks "normal". He still suffers from a bunch of post-concussive symptoms which really suck! He is much more aggresive and has a very short attention span. He also has a VERY hard time falling asleep and has been in our bed for over two weeks now. I am going crazy... however, I am very fortunate to still have our little boy with us!!
