A Much Better Day!

Slowly but surely Ben is returning to his happy fun-loving personality. Quite honestly we've all been worried that the severity of his seizures the other night created some new neurological problems. I guess we should've listened a bit more closely to Nurse Lisa yesterday.

Those of you who've had a migraine headache can appreciate that comparison with Ben's episode the other night. When your body has experienced that kind of trauma it's going to take a few days to return to normal. Some other good examples: whiplash, stomach pains after being severely nauseated, a panic attack, even a good old bump on the noggin leaves a bruise.

Anyway, Ben is relaxing in his giant football beanbag chair watching cartoons. Yours truly is working on some paintings while waiting for some guests to arrive for a "studio tour." They are awfully excited so I've chilled a bottle of wine to alleviate their disappointment when their tour consists of visiting our den, Ben's therapy room, and our bonus room. I've throw some old brushes and empty tubes of paint around the house just to make things look a bit more artsy. I have a beret somewhere in my closet but it's currently stuffed to the gills with half the stuff that was residing in the floor of our bonus room...er...studio.

Thanks for the posts and good thoughts for us the past few days! It truly means a great deal to me. I think several left some questions which I will get to later in the weekend.

What a terrific afternoon I've had! The studio visit was an absolute blast! I wanna thank Andre and Colleen for visiting us today. Yes, I sold some artwork but the best part was making friends so easily with two awesome folks. They made me feel like I was entertaining family.
