That's it for now

Our vacation in Ireland

We all had a great time in Ireland. All got wind burned on the Aran Islands but we had a great day. Went to Mayo on the weekend and Eoghan learned the hard way why you should hold on while walking on the treadmill.Both Eoghan and Maura were on the treadmill and of coures Eoghan told Maurs to make it go faster and like a good little girl she did and Eoghan flew off it and gave himself a bloody nose. Finnian nearly gave Brendan and Margaret a heart attack when he fell of the bed. All I said to Finny was " did you go boom?" and he started to laugh. It was my fault as I didn't check on him knowing that he was wide awake and having fun kicking and rolling around on the bed. We went to the fun fare in Ballina and to the parade and fireworks after. In between the fun fare and the parade we nearly had to take Finny to the hospital. No it wasn't his seizures he had a little accident with his g-tube button. But lucky for us we had a spare and we changed it in the back of the car. We went to Doohoma and saw Tony,Bridie,young Tony,Vinnie,Martin and Mark. Eoghan and Maurs had fun playing with Rusty. Then we left Mayo and went to Kinnegad and saw Peggy, Pat, Padrigh and Ruaridh and then back to Galway.
In Galway the kids had fun going on the tractors and chasing the cats. They went to the castle and Maura was turning in to a little farmer. Thomas was surprised she wasn't afraid of the cows. Will post pics once I put the on the computer. Iknow I am bad we are back almost a week and still havent taken them out of the camera.
Thats all for now

Finnian

Our small boy is doing weird things again and the docs are puzzled. We are going in on the 3rd of July for an overhaul and hopefully some answers.
We hope he will be ok for our big trip but if not we will manage. We got his episodes on tape or I should say on our new camera. Now I have to wait until Dee comes down to see how I can store it on the computer.
I have uploaded some pics just click on the link to the right.
Thats it for now

Eoghan

Eoghan has allergies and now we are starting allergy shots we have to still go and see the GI so he can check out his tummy. He ate something he shouldn't and his tummy swelled up and he said his tummy hurt. It's hard to expain to an 8 year old "no you cannot have it". Dairy seems to be one of his bad ones and it is in so much.
Well will give an up date when we go to the GI on the 8th of July

New Baby

There is a new arrival in the family.


Kayla Rose Seale has arrived.

Proud parents Joanne and Derek Seale and big sister Sarah.

Congrats to all.

June's update

Wow May got away on me. The only thing that happened in May was our Eoghan made his First Communion. We had a nice day and a party after in the house.I should have parties all the time my house would always be spotless and everything would be where it belongs.
Good news on Finnian he doesn't have kidney stones but he does have a water works problem. It is a problem with his brain not receiving the signal that his bladder is full or else it is on the return path back to the bladder that the signal gets lost. Down the road we might have to medically help him but for now its ok.
Well poor Eoghan has had a hard time with his tummy and we have discovered he has allergies.The poor lad is allergic to nearly everything but you will never believe what he is not allergic to dust mites,roaches,shrimp,scallops,and some other fish thing.We got an Epi-pen from the doc today and tomorrow we go to see an allergy doctor for more tests. Eoghan is being quite good about having the food allergies he only wants to eat things that won't bother his belly.
Maura has her moving up celebration on Wednesday and then both Eoghan and Maura are finished with school on Friday.
That's all for now

April update

Well April is here so I wonder if spring is here to stay? Our news right now is our little man Finnian has put on weight finally. Our boy now weighs 31lbs and is 39 inches tall. If anyone says a bad thing about feeding tube they don't know what they are talking about. Since our lad got his g-tube he has put on 6 lbs and grown 2 inches.
He went to see a new doctor on monday well we call him the "water works Doc" he is a Urologist. The sad part is our little lad might have kidney stones. Can you believe a 3 year old with kidney stones? Doc Terry told us that the stones are usually caused by 1) diet 2)medications 3)insufficent water intake but there are some cases of it being a family trait.Well Finnian has all 4 factors for stones so the next step is he has to have a scan of his kidneys and all his pipes and his bladder to see if he has any. If he has stones we will deal with them and if he doesn't we can mark it of his list of problems.
Well the other two are good Maura has her "moving up" (graduation) in June and our big man Eoghan Will be making his First Holy Communion on the 3rd of May.
That's all the news I have for now
