sick kids

Today has been another good day with the exception of sick kids. Both Dawson and Madison have some sort of crud. Lots of coughing, lots of sinus drainage, lots of gagging on sinus draining, and tons of snot. Kinda gross I know but these are just the medical facts. So far Madison has gotten the worst of it. Shes had an off and on fever since Friday with hers but I think shes on the tail end of the fever part of it. Hopefully both kids will be over it by the time the weekend is over.

Dawson continues to cruise right on along. Still working on perfecting the crawling thing. His range seems to grow broader and broader each day. He still has a tendency to kinda tuck his left leg under him as he crawls but, taking into consideration all the nasty things Infantile Spasms do to you, I could really care less about that. He is crawling forward, in his own way, and thats all that matters. He is really getting good at playing copy cat as well. Today at Grandmoms house she would raise her hands up in the air, then he would copy her, and they would both clap. Its funny though because as when we were doing it this evening, We would raise our hands way up in the air and instead of Dawson doing it too, well he would skip that part and go straight to the clapping. I think that's his favorite part.

As we were at the Pediatrician's office with the kids today, He seemed just amazed at just how well Dawson is doing. ( He is the same Dr. that diagnosed him) I know its hard to tell on here ( HA HA) but we are just so proud of him and all he is doing. Thanks be to God for the healing that has taken place in this baby!!!

We love you and thank you for your constant support.
