Woah.

WELL... I called to get Camryn an allergy appointment due to the horrible eczema rash she has been sporting for way too long.  They had a cancellation and could get us in on Wednesday.  I took her and they agreed that it is definitely something and decided to test her blood for a milk/soy allergy.  After 4 hours in the doctor room and the outpatient lab (that's a whole nother story as to why we were there so long!) We left w/ some skin care routines in mind and they said I should call on Monday for the blood test results.
   They called me on Thursday and said she does in fact have an allergy to milk and soy.  Great- that's one more thing I need to worry about.  Anyway they tell me to switch her to Nutramigen, not to feed her anything w/ milk or soy and to put some medicines on her as prescribed.  Today- Her skin seems less rashy and she is less itchy.  Here is a pic of her in her long sleeves, hat and tights to keep her medicine on

And here is a pic of one of her rashy-ier spots that I took on Wednesday at the doctor.

And one where you can see the redness around her eyes and under chin around her neck.

THEN- Thursday we had a follow up appointment for Ayva at the Neuro.  She weighs 22lbs. which is really, REALLY small for an almost 4 year old.  They are increasing her calories and adjusting her Keto Diet to help w/ weight gain and seizure control.  She is still having about 2 seizures a day, so hopefully when we get the new formula in the mail, we can get those last few seizures to hit the road.  She was in a pretty good mood that day- smiley as you can see

Hopefully things get better from here on out--because I'm seriously tired of one step forward, ten steps back.

JazZoo!

Tonight the whole family went out to the zoo! They were having an extra special night of activities called JazZoo and it was REALLY fun.  The weather was nice- it rained a little, but not much-  and there was free food and drinks! (Thanks to Kelly for giving us the tickets!)  They had face painting and Justin and Anna each got their face painted!  The lady asked Justin what he wanted on his face and he said "A zombie" and she asked him if he wanted to be a animal since we were at the zoo and he said "No, I want to be a zombie". So here he is! :)

Hello again...

Hi all.  I have been a serious slacker in the blog department.  3 year old triplets and a 9 month old keep me really busy.  I will update you all on what's happened since I stopped writing and then hopefully I will keep it updated.

The big girls started school last week!  They are already doing so well!! Here are a few pics of them waiting for the bus.

Anna is doing GREAT walking in her walker there.  I got to go and watch her the other day and I cried I was so happy to see my oldest girl walking!!  Here is the video I got of her
(add video)

AND Anna should be getting a power wheelchair soon! We are so excited!  I can't wait for her to get it and figure out how to get around in it! She wants to go SO badly.  There is a loaner at the school and we should be ordering hers soon!

Anna has also been talking up a storm! She can say pretty much anything you ask her to say and now she is saying things like "I wanna go" and "I wanna go outside" ALL BY HERSELF! No prompting from me! She is also doing really good at feeding herself now and I couldn't be prouder of her!!!

AYVA.  Ayva is doing pretty good.  We gave her her own "room" in our room the other day. It is much more quiet and we are hoping that it will reduce the amount of seizures she has.  Ayva's seizures are now triggered by sound. Well, I think the sound scares her, and that triggers a seizure.  Either way a quiet room is better for her. I think she truly loves it because when I put her in her bed for the first time in our room, she instantly fell asleep!  She is doing good at school so far and I hope that we can get these seizures under control soon so she can start catching up to her siblings.

Justin is....well Justin.  He is so smart and funny and now he is at the stage of pretending.  It's so fun to see him want to play doctor or pretend he is a superhero. I love it.  He is a great big brother.

Camryn, my little chunky monkey is NINE MONTHS OLD! I can't believe it!!! Last time I updated the blog she was only 5 months!  She is a crawling, moving, getting-into-everything ball of energy. Yesterday she even stood by herself and took a step!!!  She is a great baby and is always happy (unless she's hungry).  Here are a few pics of her "month" photo shoots!!

I'm a horrible blogger...

Geeze...I just can't seem to make posts very often. Sorry. It just seems like we are trying to live day to day and we are struggling even at that- so there's not much time (or effort) for blogging.

I'll try to do better...

Anywho, Camryn is 4 months old now! I can't believe she is getting so big so fast! Here are some pictures of her 4 month photo shoot!

Other than trying to get my photography business started, walking in the Epilepsy Awareness walk tomorrow, and daily life, we've been pretty boring...no news is usually good news. Ayva is still having noise induced seizures, Anna is still trying to walk, Justin is still Justin...LOL. Camryn can roll both ways and is holding her head up really good now! I will try to post a video of her being cute soon!

That's about it for now...if you are still a reader, thanks for sticking around...
