Spring Break Fun!

Our Spring Break may have started with quite a scare, but we still managed to have a good time. My goal was to stay home as much as possible to monitor Kambell and feel more confident that he is doing well. He has remained seizure free! He has officially been diagnosed with Breath Holding Seizures. This condition begins behaviorally by him holding his breath and losing enough oxygen to "pass out." His nervous system is under-developed and his body reacts to the loss of sudden oxygen by having a seizure. (He should outgrow the condition entirely by the age of 5 - 6 years old, which seems faaaaaarrrrrr away!) It is great news that the behavior isn't ongoing, some children do this multiple times per day! I cannot imagine... Kambell's little life, however has become extremely structured and it seems to be working. We are doing a "one strike and you are out" approach with him. He is doing LOTS of self injury type behavior since his seizures began, and the safest way to give him a consequence is by using his play pen. He has been spending LOTS of time in his play pen, but I have already noticed a big difference in his behavior.
Here are some pics of fun times at home!

Kyler and Kambell are just now beginning to enjoy playing together, I love watching them. It doesn't last long though...

Keith and Kyler at daddy's birthday dinner. Kyler got his first crush on one of the Hooter's waitresses! He was busy blowing and catching kisses to her, I'm in big trouble already...

Kambell had a great time too, he is such a good eater! He even wanted some hot wings.

Kambell is officially in a booster seat at the table. I was sooooo happy to get rid of that highchair! They love sitting across from one another at the table, it gets pretty loud and giggly.

Kyler in his "new, big boy spot."

Superman eating cars.

Batman and Superman playing Choo-Choo! They also have a Train tent and their favorite thing to do together is Hide and Seek or Peek a Boo in and out of the tent. I've got to get it on video, it is precious! They love each other so much!
