We spent last week at the oregon coast. Except for the very beginning, we had a great time. We had our second ER visit the night we got there.. in fact, we drove all the way to portland so we could go to a children's hospital. Jack had a high fever and he was having these weird spasms (like full-body spasms) that had kept him up for 24 hours by the time we arrived. I called our own doctor since the spasms became more frequent and stronger. The long story short is that we got great care at the hospital .. the doctor felt that jack was not having seizures but rather myoclonal spasms which were probably a result of the high fever. Sure enough, the next day, after one more horrible night, his fever broke and he has been fine since.
My sister, her boyfriend and my brother joined us for the weekend.. and then a few other sets of friends joined us during the week. We basically just went to the beach and ate good food, returned to the beach, then ate some more. Jack loved the beach. He spent many hours sitting in the sand... usually throwing it.
WHen my family was visiting, we figured out where jack gets his faboo hair -- My bro on the right is the genetic influence, justin on the left is the style influence...
Sadly, I didn't take many pics... Something about vacationing on the beach makes me forget about the future..

I've heard the term "myoclonic" before in "myoclonic jerk", those annoying spasms you sometimes have just when you're drifting off to sleep (your brain usually retroactively creates a dream event, like tripping, to account for the sensation). I didn't know that the same spasms could happen for other reasons.
Glad Jack is okay and your vacation worked out well!
us too. don't google myoclonal jerks or spasms.. too much you never wanted to know.
