Our story starts years ago when we had a dream to farm, we only had 2 children and did not think we would have more. Chaney worked out of town mostly and I stayed home with the kids. When number 3 came along we were sure we were done and started making plans,well you know the Lord laughs at your plans ,because he has a set of his on. I got pregnant with numder four and decided to stop riding horses, it was too much, then Chaney decided it was time to come home for good. Well owning a blasting company you really cannot work from your house wich meant shutting the doors, and we did. Now we have this wonderful 60 acre farm, but we had no income- so we built chicken houses- we prayed for 1 year that if this was not the right thing that the Lord shut the door- it was the quickest loan ever done. We never wanted to get rich we just wanted to stay home ,farm and raise our children. We could not wait to get started growing chickens,the kids were a big part of it they helped do everything with us, the little ones loved playing with the babies,and the older ones, well they had to work a little more. Our 5 year old(4 at the time)LOVED the chicken houses. For him it was great to be right beside his dad checking chickens, working on feeders, and even rode in the truck when he hauled litter.About a year ago Taylon started doing something strange- he would through his head back like a spasm hit him then he would have this blank stare for a few secounds after, well of course it made us a little concerned. After 6 you dont get to excited about anything, but this was wierd, so we called the doctor. She said it was Tics. They are very common among children and there was no need to be concerned-HA. We really had to start watching him about climbing stuff, even sitting at the table, he could have one and fall out of the chair, he would even have them while he was drinking and spill stuff all over him and the floor, it was really hard to watch thinking there was nothing you could do. Then to add to it, next came the blank stares- just out of the blue he would stop talking and his mind would go some where. We started thinking that Taylon may be having some problems , not seizures because those you had to lay in the floor and shake, we did not know any better. We tought he might be having some mental problems of some sort, we knew he would be behind in school with what was going and probably slow at anything he tried to learn. Taylon continued to help on the farm and around the chicken houses as he always did, he truly loves to work, then about a year after these started he had the big one. Chaney was down stairs with him, the phone rang,he went to answer it and Taylon was playing, when he came back by about 2 mins. later he called his name- Taylon did not answer- When he walked in the room he was laying on his side,eyes closed, drooling and unresponsive. Chaney caming running up stairs with him in his arms and we called 911. We had know idea what was going on we thought he had choked because he does have a history of putting things in holes where they do not go.Ten minutes later the ambulance arrive and took him to the hospital- 30 minutes my baby was unresponsive, that was scary! The hospital said it was a seizure and that opened our eyes- what is going on-Our children or super healthy , 1 cold a year and somtimes a stomach bug, where did this come from- that started our research. We got online, talked to doctors and other people with the same problem in their children, we found out some interesting things.
