Just to Remember

This post is just so I remember the details when asked again.

Yesterday, I got a call from the Junior High. They thought Zack had experienced a minor seizure. I found from Lisa's blog she took Sirri to Dr. Sena so I got an appointment immediately and took Zack in.

The principal reported that Zack had gotten up and walked to the counter in the classroom and was looking at something. This was okay because he was suppose to be doing that. Mr. Harrison then saw Zack kind of zone out and slump. He said that it looked like Zack had lost his equilibrium. He went and got Zack back to his seat and asked him if he was alright. When I asked Zack what he remembered, he said he remembered standing at the counter and then being in his seat and having Mr. Harrison ask him if he was alright. He said that it was like a dream and everything went really white.

The principal took Zack to the gym and had him walk briskly from one side of the gym to the other and said Zack's coloring and equilibrium looked fine. They called me and let me know. Mr. Harrison was pretty concerned and felt that although Zack has acted out in class for attention before he really did not feel that this was an attempt to get attention or something he could have conjured on his own.

The doctor said he felt that there was something wrong but that they want to do an EEG before they take any further steps. His EEG is scheduled for the 5th of October. If he has another episode before then we will call and get his date moved up. The doctor did think it was a one time occurrence as we do not have a family history of this nor has Zack ever had anything like this in his history.

He also said that he felt we have time on our side as it was unlikely, in his opinion, that it would occur again.

No changes in medications, activities, daily routine, foods, interactions, etc. prior to this. Also, the night before he did have a football game but there were no hits that put him down or out. There have been no accidents or injuries recently either.

Now when I go to the next doctor I will at least be able to remember what Dr. Sena told me.

45 Lessons of Life

My mother-in-law sent me an email and it was so good I had to share it. I have tweeked a few of the things on the list but I think it is a great list of lessons.

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month. Better yet, don't have credit cards.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. Whether you think you can or think you can’t you are right.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words…"In five years, will this matter?"

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you doesn't matter.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

31. However good or bad a situation is it will change.

32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.

37. Your children only get one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

I Wonder

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you had made the decision to do one thing instead of another? Sometime I wonder what my life would have turned out like if I had served the mission I had been called to rather than getting married.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I would enjoy life more and worry less.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I had taken school more seriously sooner rather than later.

Sometimes I wonder if Dr. Pepper, cake and ice cream are the answers to life's problems rather than eating healthy, diet and exercise.

What is it that you wonder about?

Jade Sua Jensen

I am an Aunt!!! Well yeah, I know you knew that, but I am an Aunt AGAIN!! Congrats to the proud parents of our latest niece!! We love you guys.

As a side note, this is the first time Kelly is seeing his daughter. He is stationed in Iraq so these are the first images he is seeing of her. Pray for his safety and quick return. He is scheduled to return to the states from deployment around the middle of July.

Update Finally

June 1st. Ok so far so good. Made the first post on the first day of the month. Likely this will not happen again, but the attempt was made so wish me luck on keeping things updated.

This past weekend was my birthday (Ugh). Another year older. I sluffed church (Mom don't die of embarrassment) to go to West Yellowstone. Each time I go I mentally check off what I still have to see in the wild. You know the list: elk, deer, bison, mountain goat, bear, wolf, coyote, etc. This year I FINALLY saw one of the more elusive animals on my list. I saw TWO wolves as we were leaving the park!! I could hardly believe it. I have to say they are huge. I took a few pictures but left my camera home today. Oh good excuse to post again tomorrow. So watch for photos of the grand adventure coming soon.

On another note, school is out for the summer and the kids are running around enjoying this new freedom. It will not last for long as I am putting them both in summer school this year to help keep them out of trouble (wish me luck with that one) and on track.
Finally, Laurie and her family came to visit a few weeks ago and we had a BLAST! Love when they come. It is always fun to sit around the campfire and enjoy laughing and talking together. We even made it to Green Canyon to go swimming. Baby Tyler absolutely LOVED being in the water and wasn't fussy a bit. He loved climbing up and down the steps to the pool much to the dismay of Laurie and I. We could only shake our heads and chuckle at him. He was so proud of himself.
