So tis the season to appreciate the small things in life that we tend to overlook and really show one another that you love them. We have spent so much time the last 6 months or more wallowing in self pity for everything that was going on with Kaitlyn and feeling sorry for what life might have in store for her. And to add to all of it, Nic got hurt and hasn't been able to work, let alone bring in overtime and side job money and we were stressing out about it. Then all of the sudden, we realized just how much we were grateful. We were grateful for the life we have, the time we have and how well Kaitlyn is doing now, instead worrying about what might happen next month or next week. We were upset about the fact that we weren't going to be able to do everything we wanted to for Christmas and just when we had come to terms with the fact that our children don't need everything, and that it's not about how much they have but how happy everyone is and that everyone is in good health. So as I was thinking more and more about Christmas, I realized that I have what I wanted since Kaitlyn was diagnosed with epilepsy, I have what I have wanted ever since I had children. For them to be happy. Kaitlyn is happy. For the first time since we started on this uncertain road, we have finally come to terms with it all and are just grateful for the fact that Kaitlyn is happy. She is still having some seizures but she is so happy and has adjusted well to the two medications she is on, although we have to add the Lamictal, we are holding out a little longer because she is so happy and doing so well. She is sleeping a little better and seems to be happier than before.

Well rather than sitting here blogging all day long I am going to get off and enjoy my kids and family.

Happy holidays everyone!!
