Kids are Angels for Grandparents

Jennifer and I had the opportunity to take Jacob down to Hilton Head for a couple of days and let Macayla stay with Jennifer's parents. Jennifer's cousin was at the beach for a week and invited us to come down for a few days. However, I was a bit reserved about going, because it was on the two week mark since Macayla's last grand mal seizures. The last bouts she had with seizures were exactly two weeks apart. But we went and Jacob had a blast with his cousins who are similar ages. Meanwhile, Macayla was the perfect little child for her grandparents while we were gone. No vomiting. No seizures. No choking. Just perfect. We are thankful for that, but it wasn't long after we walked in the door from the beach that Macayla choked and had to be suctioned. It seems that kids act out for their parents but never do around grandparents. This is why most grandparents usually think that the parents exaggerate how much the kids act up. It was a relief that Macayla has made it more than two weeks without a seizure. We will be doing a 24-hour EEG soon to see if we can catch any seizure activity. Jacob had a such a good time at the beach and did not want to leave. None of us did. I wouldn't mind being called by God to serve a church on Hilton Head, but I'm not holding my breath.
