The Strasser's

Yesterday I had to wake up Evan at 4 in the morning, so he was sleep deprived. Than he had to stay awake the whole to Medford. Good thing Alyssa came to help me with keeping him awake. He did get car sick on the way, good thing I brought extra clothes. We got there and the person was asking what time I woke him up and I told her that I woke him up at 4. I guess I was told wrong, I was suppose to wake up him at 2 not 4. Man I would have been really tired. He slept either way, which is what they wanted. I can't believe my mom did that test for me, she had to keep me awake for the tests I had to be awake for 24 hours. I am so glad I didn't have to do that. But he did sleep through the test which is good. Hoping the test doesn't have to be redone. After the EEG, we headed over to have the MRI done he was suppose to have that done at 10, it wasn't until about 10:30 when they took him back. Than I finally was able to eat something small. Evan wasn't suppose to eat unt...

 Evan on Friday had a fever and it finally broke. I tried getting him into the see the doctor on Friday and they weren't able to get him in. They did say they could see him on Monday. Evan woke up yesterday and he had the barking cough and after he would cough he would gasp for air. I took him into urgent care when it opened. He was pretty lethargic and stopped wanting to eat or drink Friday night. When we actually got called back they were asking if he was normally like this and I told him that he is normally a very happy boy and playing. They were worried since he was born so early, and they didn't feel comfortable because of how he was and him being premature. So they were telling me to head to the hospital. When they called the hospital to let them know that I was bringing him in to the emergency room,  the doctor felt that it would be better  if he were brought in by ambulance. I didn't want to do the ambulance because of the cost. Since the way he was looking...

Not sure if any family or friend's still come to the blog at all. I know I have been lacking on the updates. I am hoping to update on everyone. Not going to get to it tonight, hoping tomorrow. 

 I haven't really done updates on any of us in a while. It's kind of been crazy. But I will start with Evan on a update. He is 3 now. He started back with the early intervention (EI) on the 9th. He has been making progress. He actually started making attempts on standing up in the middle of the room before the program started back up. His EI teachers have seen him making lots of progress with cause and effect toys. He loves to play catch. When he is in the classroom he is not allowed to crawl or scoot on his bottom, it's a only walking zone, and they have actually let him bear crawl. They did get a walker for him to start using, he doesn't really like it. And is starting to stand up with it. But no moving with it yet. I did get a referral for the CDRC Center to get him tested for autism. The waiting list I believe is as long as 4 months maybe a little longer.  I did get him a referral for a neurologist. Will be meeting with the neurologist next month. Not sure what...

Dan, Cory's brother came and visited us over the weekend. We went up river and we also went to Chetco Point, and also had some fresh fish, and homemade pizza. Here are some pictures from our weekend. I didn't get any when we were up river. It reached up to 72 and 92 degrees while he was here. The sun was bright.

I can't believe after this weekend that summer is over with. It sure has gone by fast. I don't really post about me. This is a post about me and what's been going on. It has been a interesting summer. This summer started off with a trip to Salem We had to make a trip to Utah. My dad started having some problems on Father's Day. They weren't sure if he was having mini seizures or mini strokes. It was a very difficult trip. I was having a hard time with having to say goodbye to my dad. I know it doesn't have the brain damage anymore and is doing better now. I still am having really rough time. I have had a lot of moments, where I just had to excuse myself from everything and have my moment. I have finally held the baggie with my dad's wedding ring in it. My dad wore the ring all the time on his right hand.  I was actually handed the baggie from my grandpa I couldn't take it from him, I just couldn't take it. So Cory had it in his pocket for a ...
