Alex decided he wanted to photobomb Mistletoe's enjoyment of her favourite treat! Not that she actually *NEEDS* help getting every last molecule of her puppucino but she didn't seem to mind Alex giving her a quick hug before she dove into her cup! :)
Alex was at Katie's final lacrosse game of the season as he had been to all of the previous matches. That was noticed. He was also a very loud fan in the stands. He wasn't necessarily one of the Len Bauer LooniesTM but he had just as much spirit as those boisterous fans of the Enloe women's lacrosse team (and Bojangles'!) even if he would occasionally cheer for Miss Caroline when he really meant Miss…
Alex has spent the past several weeks training to run track events and today was his first official meet at Willow Springs High School not too far from the dance studio he used to attend in Fuquay-Varina. Parking and meeting up with his coach proved to be somewhat challenging but we managed to find our way into the stadium in time for him to register for the 100m event whilst I found a very advantageous…
If you've gone by a certain establishment and come away with that tall cup of Mistletoe's favourite treat, you are guaranteed to have a friend. You'll have a friend whilst she's removing every single molecule from that cup and the next thing you know she'll be on her back with the bunny face washing trick to get you to give in to the inevitable belly rub! There's reasons they're called "man's best friends". In Mistletoe's…
17 years. You have no idea how hard that is to truly believe. In spite of all of the medical adventures starting on the first night you were with us that would lead us through two brain surgeries and many hospitals and appointments, it is staggering thinking it's been 17 years. It literally feels like it was just yesterday when your mother saw you have your first seizure. We had thought that Nicholas' stay in…
Alexander got to hold a special bundle of joy this evening as we were over at Miguel and Jessica's to celebrate a birthday...Miguel's grandson Joseph Angel Tejeda ("JoJo"). JoJo didn't quite know what to make of Alex at first but the former "Mayor of Washington" brought him round soon enough before it was time to hand him back to Miguel. JoJo is such an adorable baby that his father Eddie most certainly cannot deny! :)
Alex was performing some science experiments and was recognised for his efforts in not blowing the laboratory to kingdom come! Is this a sign of mad science and mayhem to come?
Today Alex needed some laboratory tests run so we had a slight detour from the "go to the back of Enloe and collect Katie and Alex" thing we usually do after school. The closest facility in Duke's network is at the old Raleigh Community Hospital campus which was not a pleasant visit the last time we tried to have labs drawn there. It didn't seem to matter to the person behind the desk that we…
Twenty-four hours later and the EEG leads are gone after what appears to be another successful twenty-four hour EEG recording session. Today's payoff was supposed to be at Chick Fil-A but the closed dining room and the insane amount of cars trying to jam themselves into the queue put paid to that idea really quickly. Chick Fil-A could probably design a conga line on a lot four times the size of the average fast-food drive…
Another day, another EEG monitoring test to see how things are going on upstairs in Alexander's head. OK, we're not sure what he was thinking about when he tried his hand at Ramona Quimby's technique for styling hair the day before but it was readily apparent that hairstylist skills this boy...doesn't have at all! At least he didn't try to glue the hair he shaved off back into place but yeah, I think we'll recommend…
