Tyson's EEG
Tomorrow is Tyson's EEG and repeat EKG. I pray that we are finally able to get some answers as to what might be causing his headaches. We have prepared him for the test as much as possible and I really think he will do great. Having to keep him sleep deprived will be another story. In order to do the tests, Tyson has to be very tired. He is only going to be able to sleep from 12am to 4am with no nap today. I am sure that I will be able to keep him up at home with movies, walks and playing outside but the drive to Bangor is going to be a bit more difficult. Tyson almost always falls asleep in the car and the hour it is going to take us to get to Bangor is going to be hard. Thank goodness my father is going to go with us to keep him awake while I drive.

Happy Easter
I have to say that this year has been the best Easter by far since having Tyson. Not that he was not fun when he was three, but this year he was able to understand more what Easter is all about. We talked a lot about Jesus and how important this day is for everyone who has faith. It was not easy trying to explain to a four year old that even though Jesus did rise from the dead, he was not alive like we are. I don't want him to think that if someone he knows should ever die, they would not be able to come back to life. He understands that Jesus died for us and three days later he came out to show people that he was still here and would keep on living in heaven with his father and the angels. That we must thank him for the gift he gave us and that when we believe in him and thank him we too can live in heaven someday. I was surprised when he asked me why the Easter bunny comes to our house to hide eggs and how that makes us think of Jesus. I told him that the Easter bunny has nothing to do with Jesus and that we need to remember this day is about him. That the joy we get from finding the eggs and getting the gifts should remind us of the joy of having him in our hearts and knowing everything he has done for us. I told him it is a lot like Christmas when we exchange gifts to remember the gifts given to baby Jesus and the gift he gave to us. He seemed very happy with this explanation, at least for the time being.
As for him finding his eggs, all 130 of them, he was amazing. There are only about 6 left now that he has yet to discover in their hiding spots. I did not start off thinking I would stuff so many for him, but we had a lot of little cars, trucks and helicopters that we bought for him for Christmas and forgot about. The larger eggs we have collected over the years were perfect for hiding these special goodies. We also hid money, this year 30$ in quarters that will go right into his college fund. We started this tradition his first year and as much fun as he has with it, we know it is another way of making sure we are adding a little extra in his account whenever we can.
This year with the weather being so wonderful and the snow being gone, we were able to hide eggs and his two big gifts outside. As he was running around finding eggs in the grass and trees he found a new bubble blower and a pink T-ball set. I really hope that we will be able to do the outside hunt again next year because it was such a big hit.
With all the excitement we realized soon enough that Tyson was in much need for a nap, so down he went followed close by daddy. I stayed up trying to get the house clean again and to enjoying the little quiet. As soon as he woke up it was off to the playground to try out the new T-ball. I am sure he will be the only little boy around here with a bright pink bat, but he loved it. He managed to get in a few great hits before daddy tried a few pitches. So far he can throw a lot better then he can hit but I am sure he will get better with practice. After a stop over to the playground for some more fun we had to go home to start our Easter dinner. After everything was in the oven Tyson and I ran to Jerry Pond for a little more fun in the sun. Trying to keep him out of the water was a bit harder then expected so we went back home to play in the yard and clean out the car, not that I needed an excuse to stay out and enjoy the weather. After a wonderful dinner with just the three of us it was time to get ready for bed. Tyson and I went for a quick drive while Jeff finished up a paper for school. By the time we got home and jumped in for a quick bath, Tyson was more then ready to fall asleep.
Even though my parents were not with us for the first time and we missed them, it was wonderful spending the day together. I am happy for my sister and her family that they were able to spend today with my mom and dad and share their time together. I know it's hard on my sister to live so far away and not be able to spend every holiday with her family without having to pack up everyone and drive the 6 hours home, so I am sure it was nice to have them travel down to see her. Hopefully they enjoy the rest of their time together before my parents have to come home.
I hope everyone's Easter, Passover was just as wonderful as ours. Hopefully everyone remembers why we celebrate this day and that it is not about the candy or bunnies. That it is about family, faith and the gift of forgiveness through Jesus.

Loose Teeth
My niece Olivia lost another baby tooth tonight and when I was trying to show Tyson what tooth had fallen out, I noticed that his two lower baby teeth were loose. I have never heard of a child his age loosing baby teeth so I immediately got a bit nervous. I asked him if he had fallen and bumped his teeth but he assured me he had not. So off to the somewhat trusty Internet to find out if this was normal or we should be worried. To my surprise it is not unheard of for children his age to start loosing their baby teeth. As long as it is in the right order, lower front then upper front, it is nothing to really be stressed over. Many of the articles that I read said that children who cut their teeth earlier then 4 to 7 months can also loose their teeth earlier then normal. Tyson had 3 baby teeth when he was only 3 months old. We are still going to make an appointment to see a dentist just to make sure there not coming too early, but I think my little baby is going to grow up faster then I am ready for. The loss of baby teeth, at least in my eyes, is a very big deal. To me it signifies the last thing that kept him my little boy and thrusts him into being this big kid. I know this stage has to happen but I really though I had a few more years. I am not ready to see him grow up so fast. I truly believe it is harder because right now he is my only child and I want him to stay my baby. I am afraid that not long after this he will stop wanting to cuddle and want to be off playing with his friends more. That he will be reaching that "oh my parents are so annoying" stage before I know it. We truly only have a limited amount of time where we as parents are the center of their world. Where they want to play with us, cuddle and learn what we have to teach them. While I am thankful that he is growing into an independent child, it still makes me sad to know that he is growing up. I just hope I can be as brave as my little boy is so we can both get through this.

Tyson's neurologist appointment
The day after we got back from Florida Tyson had to go to Bangor to see the neurologist. We had been waiting for this appointment for over three months and were happy to finally get in. After asking the same list of questions as our pediatrician and a quick Nero exam, she decided that it was time to take him off the Cypro and put him on a new medication to try and manage his headaches better. She told us that the new medication can cause heart arrhythmia's so he would have to have an EKG and blood work to make sure there were no underlying heart conditions. After talking to us about some of the causes of childhood migraines she also ordered an EEG to test for seizures, there is a type of epilepsy that presents only as headaches instead of the normal tremors. She also ordered a sleep study to see if he is having any apnea spells that leave him unrested during the day. Because we were already in Bangor we decided to go ahead and have his blood work and EKG done that afternoon. Although the blood work did not go so well, mostly because the nurse missed his veins and had to poke him in both arms, but the EKG went wonderfully.
Getting his EKG
This past month has been spent slowly weening him off of the cypro in preparations of the EEG and other tests. Once we get the results from those we may or may not start him on the amitriptyline. I am not thrilled with the idea of giving him an antidepressant, but I have been told by both the neurologist and his pediatrician that in low doses it can be an effective treatment for migraines. His EEG has been scheduled for April 8th and his sleep study for late May so hopefully we will have more answers soon. Until then we are trying to control his pain with Tyenol, Ibuprofen and Immatrex. I just wish we could finally treat the problem instead of the symptom. The idea of keeping him medicated until he grows out of them, sometime in his 20s, does not thrill me. I want him to be able to live without side effects from something that is suppose to be helping. While I am grateful that we are not dealing with a more serious illness, I still hate seeing him in pain.

Florida
I realize that it is almost April and I have not written anything since February so I am finally forcing myself to find the time to sit down and update everyone. So even though it is almost a month later, here is our trip to Florida.
After almost a 32 hour drive we finally made it to Florida. Because of a bad snow storm from Washington to North Carolina our drive was extended almost 6 hours. We were all in a great deal of discomfort after being crammed into such a small space for so long, not to mention completely exhausted. So our first night consisted of us checking into our hotel then going to get something to eat. My mom and Jeff really wanted to find a Golden Coral so off we went. Of course it would only be fitting for the one right around the corner to be closed for that night, but we managed to plug the address into the GPS and soon were sitting down to our first real meal in 2 days. After some much needed food and stretching it was off to the hotel to get some sleep. We said goodnight to my parents and tried to get ready to sleep when there was a knock on the door. Someone had come in to look at the heater/AC unit because it was not working. After about 20 minuets he pulled the entire unit out of the wall and said we would have to change rooms because this one was unsafe. So we packed up everything again and moved a few doors down. By this time we were so tired we didn't care where we went. We got Tyson settled down and were all asleep within the hour. The next morning we decided to go to a few flea markets to walk around then we went to Old Town so Tyson could go on a few rides. The place was pretty dead so he did not have to wait in any lines. Before we left I let him play one of those water games and he won a giant pink ball. That turned out to provide MANY hours of fun at the hotel and even helped him make a few friends on our floor.
The next day we decided to check out a few more flea markets along with walk along International Drive to check out the attractions. We walked over to the alligator golf course and found out that they usually had a demonstration with the alligators but because it was so chilly they decided the gators would not be in the mood. Somehow Tyson with his unique charm and millions of questions the guy decided to do the show just for him anyway. At the end of the show he even got to sit on a live gator. He was not scared a bit, just like sitting on a pony. Right before doing the trick with the guys chin on the gator's mouth he tried to make it a little more exciting by saying he had not tried it before and he was scared, so Tyson yelled to him "you don't have to do it if your scared". He told us later in the 5 years since he started doing it, Tyson was the only one to ever tell him he didn't have to do it. So cute!!!
The next day Jeff really wanted to go to the Spaghetti House, a restaurant he found online that serves a 15 layer lasagna, So we drove all the way to Tampa to go. Before heading over to the restaurant for supper we decided to hit yet another flea market along with the going to the beach. The flea market was kind of a bore so off to the beach. There Tyson got to run around collecting more shells then I know what to do with along with feeding the birds. He was a bit scared by the birds coming so close but he had a blast. He was not happy when we ran out of food for them.
After fattening up the birds he decided he wanted to go swimming, I tried to tell him it was cold but once a 4 year old has something in their head they are determined to do it. So off with the shoes and socks for about a 4 second run into the waves. After he decided on his own that it really was too cold he talked Papa into bringing him back to a playground he spotted by the parking lot. While he was off having fun, my mom, Jeff and I all walked along the beach for a bit longer before heading out to get Jeff his lasagna he had talked so long about. After what seemed like an hours drive we finally pulled up to this old brick building that did not look anything like a restaurant. In fact we had driven to the middle of no where on a one way street and I was a bit scared to even get out of the truck. After we finally saw a few people coming out with left over containers we made our way to the door. To my surprise it was a really nice place and packed full! After we sat down we got our menu's but we all knew what we had to order, the famous 15 layer lasagna. The waitress came over and to our complete anger Jeff decides to go with some chicken dish! I could not believe we had driven all the way from Maine hearing the entire time about this darn lasagna and he orders chicken! Needless to say we all gave him a hard enough time that when the waitress came around again he changed his order. Even though it turned out the lasagna was only about 5 layers, it was still really good. After that it was back to the hotel and some more sight seeing on International Drive. Tyson wanted to go see the giant sling shot ride that was right across from our hotel and while there we found a few rides for him to go on. He had so much fun on the trampoline and asked if we could get one for his house. At least I would know where he was during the day.
One of the best flea markets that we were able to go to had a little extra surprise for Tyson. An Elephant named Dondie has been a big attraction at the market for many years. At first I felt really bad for the poor elephant, he seemed to have only a little room to roam but I later found out that he actually lives on a huge farm. I always feel sad when I see animals being used for amusement but he was a rescue and his owners have loved him for over 30 years. They wanted to get Dondie a friend but because he has too much aggression towards other elephants, he has two miniature ponies that he loves. His owners even travel the country with him including a prison where his owners minister to the inmates. He said nothing gets men to Church faster then an elephant in the yard.
Out of all the fun things we were able to do while in Florida I have to say the helicopter ride was defiantly the most amazing. Tyson had watched the helicopters flying over the hotel and around Florida every day since we got there. He asked what they were doing and we told him you could pay to go on a ride. So after much begging my mom and I decided we would be brave enough to venture to the air with him. He was so funny the day we decided to go, he was not scared in the least. In fact he acted as though it was something he did every day. Even when we took off and hit a bit of turbulence he just sat there cool as could be. My mom and I were grabbing everything we could hold onto, but he was in love. We let him sit in the front so he could have the best view and he spent the entire ride looking around and talking to the pilot. He was so funny, he was comparing BoBo's with the pilot almost the entire ride. When we got ready to land I was praying that we would get on the ground safe and sound, Tyson was upset because we could not go longer. Here are some photos from our amazing ride.
Here we are safe on the ground. Mom and I look scared because the blades were still spinning.
Us taking off......
Unfortunately Tyson's headaches did not improve at all while we were there and on the way home he had the worst migraine to date. Hopefully we will get some answers soon, but I think us getting away was truly the best thing for him and us. It has been such a long road and so far there is no end in sight but I am thankful for the time we got to spend as a family and even though his there was no change in his headaches, at least he got a chance to have fun and have two weeks where he didn't have to worry about doctors, needles and tests.

Busy Busy Busy.......
I thought things would finally settle down after Tyson's birthday, but I was wrong. Between physical therapy, doctors appointments for Tyson and trying to plan a last minuet trip to Florida, things have been a bit crazy. Last week Tyson and I went to Bangor for his 4 year well child visit and things went great, other then still having no answers about his headaches. Here are his 4 year old stats....
Height 41 Inches 75%
Weight 38.6 lbs 75%
Although he did cry when they gave him his shots, I still think he did a great job. Poor kiddo is so sick of needles right now. The only change in things were that we went up another 1/2 a tsp. of his daily meds. and we are starting a new med. hoping it will help with his pain. I have not tried it yet, but thankfully that is because we have only had minor headaches over the past week.
In other news I am finally done with physical therapy. Unfortunately it is only because there is nothing else they can do to help. I am still going to do all of the exercises they gave me at home, at least as much as I can tolerate. I did got see my orthopedic surgeon today and was told that I may need yet another surgery to clean up the cartilage and possibly do a lateral release. I want to try all my other options first so he gave me a steroid injection in my knee and told me to try some of the over the counter joint meds. that are out there. The injection was not that bad going in, mostly because he injected it where the scar has built up and I do not have much feeling. It is a little on the uncomfortable side now, but if it gives me even a few weeks without pain it will be well worth it. I can not even think of having more surgery right now, not until I know what is going on with Tyson. His dad works so I need to be able to drive him to doctors and preschool play dates etc. I drive him around while he drives me up the wall lol.
As far as our trip to Florida, it is not going to be anything special. We are not going to any of the big theme parks, this is more about getting Tyson out of this house and in a different atmosphere to see if his headaches improve at all. I am sure we will still have fun walking around the flea markets and things like that. When the nurse at my doctor's office asked him today if he was going to go to Disney World he said "no it's too expensive" lol. Guess he has heard us talking about it. Oh well, to him staying in a hotel is the "vacation" part. I am sad that my sister and her family are unable to go with us, but hopefully instead her dream house becomes less of a dream and more of a reality. Although I keep telling her that if she has any more kids I am just going to buy her hammocks so she can hang them from the ceiling. If I though her ceilings would hold a child I really would get her one. Her own little Swiss Family Rodrigues lol.

Happy 4th Brithday
Today is my baby's 4th birthday and I honestly do not know where the time has gone. It seem like just yesterday he was this tiny little peanut all snuggled up in my arms. Now he is this independent, thriving boy who I grow to love more and more each day. He truly is the most amazing thing that has ever happened in my life and I will never take one moment with him for granted. As we celebrate one more year with Tyson, there is a family who morns the one year passing of their loved one. It is hard to know this day brought so much pain for some and yet such joy for us. We are truly blessed that for us, today is a day of celebrating life, remembering those who have passed, and praying for the loved ones still here with us.
Here are a few photos of Tyson's past Birthday's.
