"Dazlious"

The day began normal enough. Maizie slept in which was awesome. We were getting ready to go to my nephews house to babysit him for a few hours when Maizie had a seizure. While she was ready to lay down and sleep afterwards she said real sweet like, "Mama, please just go to Christians and take him a happy meal without me." I told her I felt bad going without her but she was adamant. What a sweetheart.

So, while Joe cared for Maizie I took off for Christian's. Once there I had lots of fun playing Webkinz with him. He was so cute explaining how to play his favorite games.

When I got home Maizie was ready to go to Marie's to play with Christian. We jumped in the car and drove back across town to Marie's house again. I was not thrilled with driving back but Maizie had very little social activity this week and I really wanted her to get to play with Christian.

If anything today reminded me how badly we want some answers to these seizures. One cute thing Maizie said today as she was feeling quite sick during her episode was this, "Mom....I have to tell you the truth. I am sick because last night I was moving back and forth in the tub fast. I saw the bubbles in the tub. I filled the cup with water and I just had to drink it. I am sorry. I just had to do it. That is the truth as to why I am sick." I explained that I doubted she was sick from the bubbles. Of course I had to remind her again that drinking bubble water is against the rules.

Tonight Joe and I watched Snow Cake. This movie was amazing. I want to encourage everyone to watch it with an open mind. Sigourney Weaver plays an Autistic woman named Linda who lives with her neurotypical daughter in WaWa Canada. Joe and I have been to WaWa and eaten at the Chinese restaurant shown briefly in the movie. It was fun for us to remember that little town through a great film.A tragedy befalls Linda's daughter and brings a man into the life of Linda. I was so moved by this movie. I cried and laughed and just really enjoyed it. There are some very touching moments. For much of it I could not help but see some of Maizie in this character. The character Linda has a real gift for language and sees such joy in life. I don't want to tell too much because I don't want to give it away. I could be nit picky about a few things but I am not going to be because over all the movie was just down right "dazlious".
