The hospital was awesome. The doctor was great. And it was wonderful to get to spend some time with some of the other families too. We had lunch with the head neurologist who is the head of the clinic there. He asked about Jack's treatment and he totally agrees with everything that has happened so far.
I kind of wish we would have had Jack on us so that we could have shown him off, because he's that dang cute. But my mom and Ron drove up to take care of him for us so that we didn't have to worry about him at all which was great.
We will probably have Jack become a patient up there so that we can get all of his yearly scans taken care of at once instead of running around Austin for a few weeks. The hospital will also pay for the genetic testing if our insurance won't cover it. I've got to set up an appointment with the genetic counselor to see if we can get approved.
The rest of the weekend was spent socializing, which was great. It had been way too long since we've seen some of those people! We got to see Jesus and Patty and their boys. The boys were so good with Jack, it was adorable. I wish I had a picture but I was too busy actually enjoying an adult conversation.
That night we got to see my friend Kat who moved to Dallas about 2 years ago. Kat and I met in high school. We did high school retreats together and also a few middle school retreats. Then we happen to bump into each other at a college retreat. We also went to UT at the same time and would meet up for lunch on occasion. Anyways, we're old friends. And Daniel happen to be up there for a lacross game. I stared babysitting Daniel when he was 3. He's now 20. I feel old. But it was awesome to see them and hang out. And this is the only picture I took all weekend.
Then Sunday we saw Joe (one of Jonathan's roommates in Dallas) and his wife Kim and their 2.5 kids. Kim is about to have their 3rd in about 6 weeks.
So, the weekend was great. Of course Jack slept in the bed with me and Jonathan ended up on the couch. It's amazing how much space one little body can take up. And the driving wasn't great but we made it.
And Jack continued to have seizures. Yesterday he was put on an additional med. Not what we wanted, but we need to get them stopped. Hopefully this will do the trick. The poor baby was so cranky today. I don't know if he's dizzy or his head hurts or what. He keeps putting his head down on the ground and moaning. Hopefully he will adjust to whatever is going on soon.
