Sunday June 22nd update

We hope that everybody has had a great weekend. We certainly have. It has been a busy weekend for us ( which is typical) but we had the opportunity to visit with some family members who were in town for the weekend, as well as some friends that we haven't seen in a while. All this accompanied with our usual weekend running of errands made us pretty busy the past couple of days.

Our family continues to do really well. We have been blessed in so many ways by God. Our blessings are too many to count but that has been the focus for us these past days. We have been recognizing all the many ways God has, and continues to bless us.

Dawson is doing amazingly well. Allison and I have not seen any seizures and so today makes 24 days seizure free. We knew in our hearts that we would arrive at this place one day. But now that we are here in this place of no seizures, its hard to believe were actually here. But yet we are here, and we praise God for bringing us to this place.

This has been the hardest 8 months of our lives and yet at the same time, it has been the Greatest 8 months of our lives. We have learned that when you completely turn over something to God, that's just what he does. He takes the most wretched thing you could ever go through and turn it into gifts and blessings beyond your wildest imagination.
We have no idea what tomorrow holds for our us, our family, or Dawson. We only know that God is in charge of tomorrow and that's good enough for me.

We are having Dawson re-evaluated by Early Intervention this week. When they did the original evaluation we set goals that we wanted him to reach developmentally. With the exception of a couple of things, he has met and exceeded those goals. So to make sure hes stays on track, we wanted him re-evaluated and given a new set of goals. You never know what kind of damage these seizures are doing/have done with these kids, so even though he is doing great right now, we will continue to closely monitor his developmental progress and address any delays that might come up.

Once again, thanks for the constant showering of prayers that you have poured over this family. You are now able to see the fruits of your labor.

We love you

Jeff and Allison

It has been amazing to journey right along with you. We are honored and privileged to have been allowed to watch Dawson overcome all the obstacles placed before him.Difficult in some moments and joyous in others. We are so proud of him AND you. You faithfulness has been inspiring. Thank you for taking us along for the ride and we look forward to seeing all the wondrous things God has planned for you all.
