So much has happened since my last post! Lots of good, lots of bad. We'll start with the good... We will be moving to Midland! That is our wonderful news that we are so thrilled about. Brent got a job there and will move the last weekend of July, leaving us behind until our house sells. Yikes! Once we found out that we would be moving, we got our house all ready and on the market. The bad news is that we have only had 2 showings in two weeks. What the heck! Apparently everyone in our area is hurting for showings b/c I really feel like if we got some traffic that we wouldn't have trouble selling. Right before we got our house on the market, Chloe had been really sick. She ran high fevers for about 7 to 10 days. She had a combo of two yucky viruses. One Sat night at 3am she woke us up having a seizure. She scared us to death. When the ambulance arrived her fever was at 105.3. I never want to see my babies in that kind of way. I was so fearful but honestly I felt like God had his arms around me the entire time as I was holding my baby girl. I remember just feeling in some sort of survival mode. I was terrified but I had a strength at that moment that I have never known. I knew it was my job to be there for Chloe so I held her and waited it out. Once she stopped seizing, she was crying and so out of it. I just remember rocking her, waiting on the ambulance and all I could say was "Please, God watch over her, please God watch over!" Long story, short... they feared that she might have meningitis so she had a CT, spinal tap, xray and blood work. She finally got back to her baseline and we got to leave the hospital. At her follow up with her pedi, he decided to have us run an MRI and an EEG. He feared that Chloe might have a mass in or on her brain. I was a basket case! She had to be put under for the MRI which was scary but she did great and the results showed that she was fine. Same with the EEG... everything was normal. Thank you God for sparing my baby. I fully trusted Him and at the same time, feared that he would want to take Chloe from us to be with Him in Heaven. I just prayed and prayed and had so many others praying for her too. I just think it was a time for me to be totally vulnerable and for me to learn a few lessons. God is always good even in the most terrifying of times.
That scary time is over and now we wait to sell our house and move! Not much else is going on. Cole continues to amaze me everyday with how smart he has gotten. He cracks me up, nonstop! He is in a phase where all day long he asks me if I remember things. "Mom, remember when I was a baby... Mom, remember when we did this or that..." This morning he said the cutest thing, " Mom, I love to play with toys, watch tv, read books, play outside, play in the leaves, to go to Academy and Starbucks and Target and I love the letter G from Sesame Street. Mom, I love those things!" I mean, what goes on in that head of his??? He is so funny.
I am so blessed! Until next time...
