Kenedy's First Day of School and Kamryn Info

Today was Kenedy's first day of "school." We've been talking it up for the last week, hoping that it would de-emphasize the not going to Leslie's part. She did really well. Hardly took the time to kiss Kamryn and I good bye! When I went to pick her back up, her teacher said that she had a really good day. She did have a potty accident though. Apparently, she went to tell the teacher she needed to go to the bathroom, but when she finally got through explaining, it was too late. And that is why they ask to us to send a change of clothes... Hopefully this was just a first day thing, now that she has her bearings and knows where the bathrooms are, we won't see anymore accidents. We'll continue to send a change of clothes, just in case... She said she had fun and liked her teachers and new friends. So far so good. Here are some pictures of this morning.

Eating breakfast after her bath.

She is excited about school!

Toting her lunch box.

In the school parking lot, backpack and all.

Tromping down the hall.

In front of her locker!

Stacking blocks in the classroom. But oops!, this is the wrong classroom!



Bonked her head on her new locker, in the right classroom.

All better now...

FYI- Kamryn had a seizure last night (Sunday, 7:30pm, right before we gave her the nightly dose of phenobarb), and of course we couldn't get ahold of the neurologist. We gave her an extra dose of phenobarb, guessing that that would be what the neurologist would do. It held her all night and she was a happy girl this morning before we took her to Leslie's. We told Leslie about what was going on and she did well all day. Scott finally got ahold of the neurologist (actually his nurse) late in the morning and her medicine has now been shifted to 5 ml of phenobarb 3x/day, instead of 6ml 2x/day. She'll basically get an extra 3ml a day and will not be spread out so far apart. It will now be on the same schedule as her Keppra, which is nice for us. Also, when talking to the nurse, we found out that her phenobarb level that was taken Friday morning was a 20.5, low for her. Knowing that she is now in the 90's percentile-wise, it's all coming together. She hasn't had another seizure since the one last night. Hopefully this shift in medicine will help for a while. Our next pediatrician appointment is in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see what she weighs by then.
Here are some pictures of Kamryn just being cute in her red and white gingham lady bug outfit. Sorry about the turned pictures, they were all right when I put them on my computer.

telling us all about it...
