A year has passed since I started putting my online business together and having it launched in October 2012! So much has happened - not much sleep has been had between the Cheeky Boys seizures, numerous hospital visits and making pieces for my RozArt website (well over two hundred items put on my site so far and counting!!), doing courses, starting up stalls in various local markets, shows and community events. Opening RozArt on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and of course this Blog, I felt a week off from a blog entry was justified... a wee bit tired and needing a rest :-) I have to add raising a Cheeky Girl in the mix and running a household and of course we can't forget the hubby in there too :-)
I have spent the last week at my parents place but that hasn't stopped me from attending a few events including the Furry Fun Day for the Animal Welfare League of NSW yesterday which was a lot of fun of course and a nice warm day (even for the locals!). I have of course had the privilege of falling asleep next to my son around 8PM and not have to get out of bed until the morning :-) A rare treat indeed!!!
Over the past year I have of course have many moments of fun, laughter and the meeting of many great people (between the exhaustion ;-)
I believe that despite the many challenges put forward in life, one needs to always find something to smile about and laugh about, these things are the gifts we can give ourselves :-)
It has been wonderful to watch the Cheeky Boy laughing, getting up to mischief and discovering things in his world that he hasn't noticed before. He is of course still going through random drop seizures throughout the day and continuous bouts of them when he wakes up from a nap but to watch him get into fits of laughter of the Bananas In Pyjamas falling over is a joy indeed :-) (never mind his fits of laughter when he burps from either end of his body!!! )
We have been informed that he will be starting his Ketogenic diet at the end of the month so we will be spending a week in hospital in Sydney so that he can be monitored closely. The aim of the diet is to reduce or perhaps eventually eliminate his seizures. We will have to see how he goes, it will require measuring every amount of food going into his mouth and making high protein, high (good)fat foods and eliminating carbohydrates from his diet (goodbye garlic bread...)

Well it's time to go and indulge in a little chocolate ice cream :-) I hope you all have a lovely week :-)
