August is a busy month!

So here is what we have happening for August, it is sure to be a jam-packed month and it will go by fast:

This week and for the next two weeks I have Sophia for 4 days instead of the usual two.

Friday August 8th- 10 year Anniversary for Rudy and I

Monday August 11th- PT at 9am and my two older nieces will be with us during the day all week, so I will have 5 kids in my care.

Tuesday August 12th- 3pm Follow up at Shriner's

Wednesday August 13th - 9am Evan will get leads for 24hr EEg

Thursday August 14th- get leads from EEG taken off

Friday August 15th - Pay day and Hippotherapy, pick up Cynthia from her Mom's

Monday August 18th- PT at 9am

Tuesday August 19th - Evan has sleep study at 8pm, my mom's group is also that night so I am going to call tomorrow to reschedule the sleep study so I can go to the Mom's group

Wednesday August 20th - Speech Therapy with Karen Gale who will probably now being doing monthly visits to Evan's preschool so I will not get to see her anymore, which will be sad because she has been seeing Evan for feeding and speech since 3-06

Friday August 22nd- Hippo therapy

Monday August 25th- Back to school for Cynthia (she will be a junior) and Gabriel who will be in 2nd grade. Time sure flies

Wednesday August 27th- Evan will have Endoscopy test at Sutter Memorial and then have the Ph Probe inserted. He has to be put under for this which is always nerve racking but we have not had any problems so far and he has been put under a total of 3 times now.

Thursday August 28th- Evan's IEP and we leave for Downieville. Evan is staying with his respite worker, I am looking forward to a break and so is Rudy.

Sunday August 31st- Come home from Downieville

Tuesday September 2nd- Evan starts preschool at Markhoffer Headstart, I am really excited I think this will be a great year for him. I am so amazed that in December I have to register him for Kindergarten, I will register him at Franklin Elementary where Gabe attends but I doubt he will attend there. Have to register him just in case he can attend with an aide or something.

Save the Date for September 6th which will be my commencement ceremony for my Bachelor degree. I am so excited, I want to invite everyone I know to share in this achievement with me.

I am nervous for the tests especially the EEG and sleep study, I am so scared that it is going to show that Evan is having more seizures at night, or that he is having nothing and that his breathing and such is fine also and it is just behavioral, then what will I do. I wil feel like it is all my fault for letting him sleep with me. But really I felt that I have no other choice if we both want to get a decent night sleep. The endoscopy should tell us if he has damaged his espophagous and the Ph Probe will tell us if he is having any refluxing and needs to be on Meds.

A busy month for us and I have a feeling September will be some of the same, then we will be in October and before we know it the year will be over.
