Because we don't have enough piled up...

It's been awhile again. Like usual, life gets hectic. 

Hudson has started going to Pre-K. And I'm so happy to say he absolutely LOVES going. He would go everyday if he could. Loves his teacher and is having so much fun. 

He had his speech screening and of course needs speech therapy! Ha. We meet with his Pre-K teacher, the school SLP & one of the TA's to discuss the plan with Hudson at school.  Hopefully we will start speech soon in the school. We also hired private speech to come to our home every other week for a half hour sessions. He really enjoys them coming. They are absolutely wonderful! ECIP of course still comes to our house every other week as well. So he keeps busy with everyone seeing him. 

Over the past few years Hudson has had small episodes where he looses his balance. He falls and can't seem to get up again. It only lasts a few minutes but it's scary for him. The last time this happened was this August when we were watersliding. He just would say everything was going round and round. This was concerning as there is a hereditary condition that other family members have. One of which one family member has ever been properly diagnosed and is being treated with medication. 

I brought it to the attention of our G.P when I brought both kids to their yearly checkup. At first I didn't think our Dr was very concerned, however he did order a EEG for him to have done. Which I might add was not fun to say the least. He had to stay up 2 hours past his regular bedtime and be woken up 2 hours before he usually wakes. We had to drive 2 hours to his appointment. He wouldn't cooperate so they had to swaddle him and hold him down while they got everything hooked up to his scalp. He was so mad. He eventually did fall asleep. Thank goodness Ibrought his IPad so he could watch a movie to calm down. 

This week we had to go back up to see our Dr for a follow up appointment and there were irregularities on his scan. He believes Hudson has epilepsy. We are now being referred to a specialist in Saskatoon. Which is about 4 hours from here. He is a paediatric neurologist. So hopefully we can get some answers. I am happy with going to see this Dr as this is what I wanted from the beginning so it gets dealt with. 

It's was a hard thing to hear. But we are in the right direction. Everything is just pilling up and it's starting to get harder and harder to deal with things. I've been so strong up until recently where I find myself getting more teary over things and sometimes just have a bawl fest 😭

Here's to hoping we get past all these hurdles 👍🏼
