My mom 2 mom group

Our Mom group went to the McCormick Railroad park today in Scottsdale. The weather right now is absolutely perfect. The kids had a blast playing on the playground, riding the choo choo and the carousel.


I am also loving these moments I have just with her without big brother (who was at school today). It had been great for the two of us to have time together.




London ended up NOT being a fan today of the carousel. She tried to get off many times while we were spinning around.

Medical Update

I met with an Epileptic Specialist on Monday January 31st at Barrow Neurological Centers.....kind of an amazing place. They (I got to see two specialists) both agreed that overall my EEG was normal. They saw the slight spikes and understood why my neurologist might have thought it was slightly abnormal, but to them it was a pretty average one. With that said, it is inconclusive whether I had a seizure or not. So I will not be treated medically for them. IF it was...I have a 40% chance of having another one in the next two years. If I do have another one, then it will be epilepsy and I will go on anti-seizure meds. So that is where it stands. No movement or worry unless I have another one. It is good news and I feel good even with there no being any answers on the Sept. 15th accident. It could have been just that, an accident. :)

Health Update

I was in a car accident September 15th at 7:30pm. I was charged with running a red light, I was hit by cross traffic traveling at about 45 to 50mph....end of story for about a week. I decided to see my PCP because I was really unsettled about the fact that my memory of the incident ends about 30 seconds before I reached the intersection and then I have bits and flashes of getting my phone and knowing I needed to call people, to getting on a stretcher, then my memory picks right back up when I was in the ambulance. Doctor did not like the sound of it since there was one eye witness who claimed I did not just proceed through the intersection, this man wrote that I came to a stop and then slowly rolled into the intersection. Was referred to a neurologist. Neurologist stated that he believed I lost consciousness before the accident so tests were suggested. So far I have had a CT, an MRI and an EEG. CT and MRI looked great! EEG had some abnormalities and it looks like a seizure is a possibility. My neurologist asked if I would be willing to see an epileptic specialist before deciding to go on anti-seizure medication. I agreed very willingly. I am not that interested in taking a medication that I might not actually need. So that is where we are. There are only a few epileptic specialists in the valley so I am now on a waiting list that might take a few months. Oh....and I have to see a cardiologist to also make sure my heart is in tip top shape as well.
Prayer is my stronghold. I would like to know why I did something that does not fit anything about me. But I also worry about getting answers of course. I have been told that if it is determined that it was a seizure, my license will be suspended for 90 days while I start medication. That will be a huge upset for the Gibson family to deal with but of course in the long run very manageable.
Prayer is my stronghold. God is my refuge.
