Giving thanks

Cuong and I are thankful for many things in our lives. Today we are thankful for the gift bestowed upon us one year ago to the date. Happy Birthday Pepper!! Yes, the Peanut is a year old today. She spent the day checking out her daycare all by herself. She did really well. Mom, not so much. I went home and cried. Then I bit my nails. Then I harassed the director of the daycare for updates. Sigh. So hard to let go. 

How has she been doing since my last update? Well, Thanksgiving came and went with a minor cluster. This one involved a fever which we were not sure if it was teething related, or cold virus related. Two crusty eyes, and a juicy cough later, we were given some antibiotics to add to our repertoire. So much for taking meds away. This gal likes to collect them. After contacting Sick Kids about the cluster, we have increased the dosage on her medication. As a result, Pepper has had some really great days. She’s had the occasional break-through seizure, but has not suffered any major clusters. This is positive news! This is also very reassuring as I am counting down to my return to work. I’ve been stressing out about this for weeks. So much to worry about. Speaking of worry… party tomorrow! I better get cracking. Much to do, much to do…
