Tuesday August 12th Update

Things around here have been just as wonderful as ever. The kids are finally getting over illnesses ( although it seems its been passed on to Grampy and Mommy.) And Dawson is really on the move now. He is turing out to be Mr Explorer around the house and how wonderful it is to see him crawling around getting into things. His favorite thing is to throw something and then go chase it. Sounds kinda like Im talking about our dog but he really does seem to enjoy it.

Speech development seems to be going in a good direction as well. We spent all day in Nashville at another Diabetic Education class and when we got back, Granny and Grampy informed us that he learned to say " cat" and " Kit- ty" This guy is not only defying the odds of Infantile Spasms hes just plain showing off now. We love it though and we feel so blessed and so fortunate to be in the boat were in right now.

We are in constant prayer for our friends who's road has not been so easy and pray that very soon they can too find themselves in a world that does not involve seizures. Please take a look at " Dawson's friends" and say a prayer for these kiddos. We have been actively praying for these families for months and months and you would be doing us an honor by taking the time to read their stories and get prayerfully involved in their lives.

As always, thanks for the love and support you show and we love you all

Jeff and Allison
