Still waiting.....While at Childrens Hospital we custom ordered a helmet for Jake, as his seizures changed from tc's to drops. This drop, or atonic seizure, is why we ended up in the ER after being released from our 2nd hospital stay. He was using the restroom, "dropped" and cut his chin open.
The helmet was supposed to take 6-8 weeks...after seeing too many black eyes, knots on the head and bloody lips, Matt and I decided just to pay outright for the darn helmet to speed things along. This "speed" is waiting another 4 weeks! Today, I swung into a sports store around the corner and they have youth hockey helmets with chin guards! I was able to, luckily, cancel the darn "custom silver, to be like Romo," helmet, supposedly get my money back and finally get the kid a helmet he is in LOVE with!! Why did I not think of this 6 weeks and 8 stitches ago?! So now Jake has a helmet with a full face guard that he is in love with and mommy can have a little more peace of mind.
The biceps are awfully sore from carrying around a 3 year old everywhere we go, in fear that he may fall! Although I will miss the instant workout from carrying him, I am mighty glad he can now walk places on his own.
God Bless~ Christine

Christine, my heart goes out to you. As a parent, I can only imagine all of the things that go through your head on a given day. Your Jake sounds like a real trooper, and I have faith that he will soon be back to a normal toddler's life. Not that it's much use, but I am a pharmacist, so if you ever have questions about meds or just want a second opinion, please don't hesitate to ask. You can e-mail me any time at hollyjphillips@msn.com. God bless!
