On Saturday August 10 we went to the Bristol Renaissance Faire; so fun! I know I say every stage is my favorite stage, but can I just say I love having a three-year-old? It's so fun to see her really "get" things and ask me questions about them. ("Why is her dress fancier, Mama? What type of lady is she, Mama? What is the queen doing now, Mama?" Oh how fun to explain Renaissance social classes to my daughter; I'm indoctrinating her with a love of history--I hope--at a young age!)
The night ended on a scary note, though, when Dan was having trouble thinking of words and formulating his sentences; it was so frightening! We had stopped at a mall in Racine for dinner, since they had a Chick-Fil-A there (the only one in Wisconsin!) and I miss that so much. (As a side note though, it was disgusting. It didn't taste like any of the other Chick-Fil-As I've gone to; talk about one disappointed pregnant lady!) Anyway we got there, and Dan had fallen asleep in the car, so I woke him up. He was so disoriented (not in just the normal "I just woke up" way either); he couldn't think of common words like "stroller." He kept saying, "Kate needs her... her... her..." I said, "her what?" He said, "you know... that thing... that...." I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about! I had opened the trunk to get something else, and he said, "That thing!" pointing to the stroller. And this continued for almost 15 minutes; it was so scary. So we called the dr., and they wanted us to come into the ER as soon as we got back to Madison. So we did, and they did a CAT scan, EKG, and all that looked fine, but they want him to get an MRI because they were worried that he suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA) which is basically a mini-stroke (which doesn't damage your brain, luckily). How scary; I was terrified. Luckily Kate slept the whole time we were there, which is good, since we were there from 10 pm to 1:30 am! So hopefully we'll know more once he has the MRI, but he can't get in until August 27, which is unfortunate.
