Just wanted to update everyone really quick...plus so I have this all written down just in case I ever have to look back for it. We are trying to just compile all the details...so some of the stuff seems like way to much info, but I just want it written down in case we need it later. And I know our family and friends want to stay updated on him. :)
This week, Frosty has been having headaches when he wakes up in the morning. He says they feel pretty bad, but subside after he's been up for awhile. He also had 2 nosebleeds last week.
While Danny and Frosty was at the Matt Maupin Memorial Fishing Tournament {May 7th...around 12pm'ish}...they were sitting on the edge of the water fishing. Frosty remembers looking off to his side/behind him...and that is the last thing he remembers before waking up a bit later. Danny called his name, but he did not respond. Still sitting in his chair, with his head to the side, he was shaking. His eyes were kind of to the side.
Danny scooped him up, and kicked his chair out of the way so he could lay him down on the ground. Danny put Frost over on his side. He noticed that Frosty's lips were turning a blue color, and was sort of foaming at the mouth slightly. It lasted about 1 to 2 minutes.
Once he started coming out of the seizure...Danny asked him where he was, and he wasn't sure. Danny asked him his name, and how old he was...he answered these fine. He was unsure of what day is was when asked, and then was asking Danny what day it was. He was asking if they could leave because he was very tired. It took him a few minutes to really "come back around". On the way home, Danny found out that Frosty did not remember Danny asking him all the questions right afterward. Danny said that it did not seem like it took him as long as last time to "come back around" as the two times before.
Danny cradled Frosty's head with his arm while he was seizing because he thought it was bouncing around so much...hitting the ground kinda hard.
Danny and Frosty ate lunch not long before the seizure started...a hot dog on a bun {ate only part because he saved some for the fish :) }, banana, chips, Sunkist pop. {He also had shredded wheat blueberry cereal for breakfast} On the way home, his stomach was feeling upset, and Danny had to pull over so Frosty could throw up on the side of the road.
Now that he is at home, he does not seem as tired as the two previous times, either. He is right now laying on the couch watching some TV. He currently has not headaches. He has stomachache, just like he did on the way home. No sore muscles, though.
We will be calling the neurologist's office here in just a bit to leave a message for the nurse to let them know what happened.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts, well wishes, and support! We appreciate all of it so very much. It means so much to our family!

I Woke Up in the Year 3011
I wanted to share the story that Arlee wrote for a contest going on at our local libraries. It had to beginn with the line, "I woke up in the year 3011...", and had to be 1000 words or less.
“I woke up in the year 3011,” said Jonathan. He was a handsome young man with blond hair and deep brown eyes that if you angered him they would turn as black as night. He looked the part of a bad teenager, but he wasn’t bad. He was, in fact, the complete opposite. He was one who got good grades and helped old ladies cross the street, but if he was mad he had a complete personality change. Natalie made him stay calm for the most part.
“I remember when that happened,” said Natalie, “I was there too, remember?” Natalie was the prettiest girl in school, but she was also the shyest. She had long black hair that covered her face; she had brilliant blue eyes and a kind smile. She looked like a model and that made other girls jealous so they avoided her normally.
“Tell us, Tell us!” chanted a group of children; JoJo, Katherine, and KC. Jojo was a blond-haired, hyperactive five year old, Katherine was a black haired girl who loved to dance, and KC was a brown haired tomboy who loved wrestling. The trio loved to hang out with Jonathan and Natalie because of Jonathan’s wild stories and Natalie’s sweet personality.
“I don’t know,” said Jonathan playfully, “Do you think we should, Nat?”
Natalie said with a wink, “Hmmm…. I guess we should Jonny—but what do you say kids?” She giggled.
“Pleaseee,” wined Jojo and Katherine at the same time.
“What about you KC? Don’t you want to hear my story?” asked Jonathan sorrowfully.
KC groaned out a, “Fine…..please?” She looked very unhappy about having to ask.
Jonathan jumped up, saying dramatically, “Are you three ready to hear a story that will make you laugh, cry, and keep you on the edge of your se— Ouch!” He was hit in the leg by Natalie, “Hey!!”
Natalie grabbed the back Jonathan’s shirt and pulled him down. “Alright don’t get their hopes up. Its not that good.” She said impatiently, “Now calm down.”
“Oh, Fine!!” He said crossly. His eyes started turning black.
“Cool it,” Natalie said calmly, “Anyway we promised the kids a story”
“Oh right,” He said, “well….I woke up in the year 3011….
When I opened my eyes I saw what looked like giant Frisbees! They were UFOs! I stood up just to jump back down again; I almost got hit by one!”
“Hello Human,” said Jonathan like a robot, “What are you doing on the ground?”
The boy started making robotic noises and started to dance the robot.
“Johnny? What are you doing?” asked Natalie.
Jonathan started to blush, “Oops, I—uh—got in the moment…” Natalie started to giggle again.
“Jonn,” wined Katherine, “What happened next??”
“Did the robot take you to its maker?” asked Jojo.
KC asked, “Was its creator an Alien?”
Natalie, wanting to add to the series of questions by the kids, “Did the alien take your brain and exchange it with a dog’s??”
Jonathan looked at Natalie with a twinkle in his eye. Then he started barking and howling, and then tackled her to the ground.
“Ruff,” Jonathan said with a snicker.
“Jonny!” giggled Natalie, “get off me! And quit eating so many dog treats you weigh a ton!”
Jonathan pretended to lick her and then got up. “Okay, back to my story,
I asked the robot where was I - on some sort of highway? No wonder I almost got hit 10 times……in a row.”
Natalie laughed, “In a row? You never told me that part”
“There was a reason why I didn’t,” Stated Jonathan, “So the robot took me to its domain. It was a butler robot programmed to work for its master. Who I had the unlucky task of meeting; It was a giant, green, smelly alien!”
“Knew it,” Smirked KC.
“Oh! I know this part!” Natalie looked overly excited, “It’s where I come in!!” She smiled a huge grin.
“Any more interruptions?” asked Jonathan rather irritably, “No? Let me continue;
As I was sitting across a coffee table from the alien the butler robot in with Nat. She ran into my arms saying “I love you so much Jonn—”Nat are you blushing? You are!! ” Jonathan started laughing just to have Natalie’s empty lunch sack thrown into his mouth. “Yuck…Plastic!” he exclaimed.
“That part did not happen!!”
“But you wish it did!!”
“Do not!!” Natalie blushed even more.
“Apparently you do,” Laughed Jonathan. He glanced over at Natalie. She looked ready to kill. “I’m going to continue the story now…
As I said before, the butler robot came in with Nat, saying “I found another one, master.” Nat walked to the couch where I was sitting and sat next to me.”
Natalie cut in, “it was weird sitting across from that thing, but then it started talking. Its voice sounded like someone speaking and trying to drink at the same time. It said, “So I found the two time walkers. You two high jacked my time machine! So where is it, chillllldreennnn?” It hissed at the end.”
“So I yelled at him,” Jonathan started again, ““We don’t know what you’re talking about! We just want to go home, back to 2011!” Then he hissed-slash-growled and started to chase us! I grabbed Nat’s hand and ran; we ran and ran through door ways and passages until we hit a dead end. I turned hoping to see another door way but unfortunately, nothing. I did see the Alien heading straight for us. And then –” Jonathan paused for dramatic effect.
“Jonnnaathhhaaannnn,” Jonathan’s mom yelled, “Time for dinner!!”
“Alright! Bye guys! Bye Natalie,” Jonathan winked, “I guess this story has to be continued later.” He laughed and ran towards his house.
The trio of children asked, “Natalie!! What happened next?? Tell us….please?”
“You have to wait, I don’t tell it half as well as Jonny,” She said thinking of what happened with a loving smile, thinking to herself Thank you for saving me, Jonny.

Newport on the Levee Art Show
Yesterday was such a great day!! The sun was shining...the temp was perfect...the breeze was devine!! What a wonderful day after so many gloomy rainy days!!
Arlee had a Girl Scout outing to Scarsborough Fair Pottery. Her troop was working with an older troop as a requirement for bridging. She made 2 small vases. We will be able to get them back at a later date from her troop leader...after they have been fired and such. I can't wait to see them!! She's now asking for a potter's wheel! :)
After I dropped Arlee off for her Girl Scout outing, I ran back home. Made lunch while Danny moved some wood out in our yard. After we all finished eating, we headed over to my IL's to visit for a bit. We were running a little late, so it wasn't long after we arrived, Danny ran up to pick up Arlee. It's right down the street. He took his mom along to give her a ride in our new minivan.
We all were enjoying some yummy smoothies out on Danny's parent's back deck. They just got one of those Magic Bullet blender/choppy things...and it was GREAT for the smoothies!! They were so very good! And great on a day like yesterday!
Danny, Arlee, and I then headed down to Newport on the Levee for an Art Show going on in the Mall. Out in the square, there was a guy up on stilts, and a guy doing some street magic! After a bit, we headed inside to look around! One of the first booths we found was the facepainting one! What the artist created was beautiful and amazing!! And she did it in like less than 10 mins!!
Danny bought Arlee 2 prints of these really nice paintings. She really was drawn to them. Now we just have to get her some frames...and find a place on her walls for them!
After hitting up the pirate store, we headed outside to take in the scenic view of Cincy! Plus the clouds were amazing looking over the bridge...
So that was our yesterday! It was just such a wonderful day!
