Kade at the Go Kart Race

Hey this is Kay! Today I am going to be talking to you about Kade going to the go kart races. The picture below is of Kade at his brother, Brody's, go kart race. Kade likes to go to his races because he likes the sounds of the go karts. Kade can only hear loud sounds, so go kart races are perfect for him. Anyways back to Brody; he really likes to race go karts. He says that he likes the overall thrill of riding them. Brody goes every single night to the shop to work on his go kart. He has to rub the tires, wash it, and make sure it is running good. When he gets to the race, he has to check in with the people at the race, and then he makes sure everything is okay on his go kart. Brody races usually around 3 or 4 times each race. The first is practice, then the heat race, and then the actual race. The heat race is to see how fast he runs. During the heat race there is only about 3 or 4 cars at a time. In the main event there are about 7 or 8 cars running at a time. Brody is only 7, so that's why there aren't very many cars on the track at the same time. In the older classes there are about 25 or 30 cars running at the same time. In Brody's class there aren't hardly any wrecks, but in the older classes there are very many races. So racing in the older classes is much more dangerous. All in all, Kade likes going to the races because he can see the lights at night and he can hear the go karts running around the track. (The picture below is of Kade sitting in Brody's go kart.)

My 3rd #20time Reflection

Hey this is Kay! Today I am going to talk to you about the medicine that Kade takes and how it helps him. Kade takes some of his medicine through a bottle type thing. It looks like a bottle, but it's smaller. He takes his other medicine through a syringe.  Kade takes 3 ml of Keppra, 4.5 ml of Trileptal, 1.3 ml of Reglan, 5 ml of Provacid, 2.2 ml of Baclofen, and 1 pill of Singular. He takes the Keppra and Trileptal for his seizures, the Reglan and Provacid for his reflux, the Baclofen to help his arms and legs not to be so stiff, and the Singular for his allergies. It is very important to give Kade his medicine because if you don't he won't act like his normal self. It could even cause him to start having seizures. Learning all of this in just one day was a lot and it was pretty difficult. I had to ask many questions because I didn't understand all of it. I'm actually starting to kind of feel like a nurse now because I know how much medicine to give Kade and when to give it to him. In the next blog post, I plan to talk about when Kade got very sick and had to go back into the hospital. That's all I have for today! -Kay
