More of the same and jumping around

The past few days have brought little changes. I guess in some ways that is good, and in other ways..... well, not so good.

seizures and mood have not changed any, and tomorrow will be his first decrease in Keppra. Kinda looking forward to seeing what mood changes will come from decreasing. One minute he is completely fine. Laughing, spinning in circles, having the best time ,and literally one Milli second later, he is in some kind of raging, body flinging, cup throwing, screaming, biting, fit. We have all grown kinda weary of this and its been a concern of mine for a while. My prayer is that God will intervene and sooth whatever is causing him to do this.

On a more positive note, we have been working with him on jumping for a couple of weeks now. He would squat way down and go through the jumping motion, but his feet would never actually leave the ground. Last night something must have clicked because he was jumping around like a little Mexican jumping bean with both feet leaving the floor. This is a developmental milestone and anybody who knows us knows we celebrate and brag about each and every one he reaches.

So, way to go Dawson!! I hope you continue to jump like a frog my little man!!

That's about it for us, Madison has been under the weather today with some crud and fever so I took off work and got to hang out with my littlest of princesses today. I enjoy my job, but I love hanging out with her better!!

Keep the prayers coming. God has been, and continues to be SO good to us.

Our love to each of you

Jeff and Allison

I love the jumping bit...yeah Dawson!

We have to celebrate all accomplishments, big or small, because they are enormous in our world!

I have a feeling you guys will be doing lots of celebrating this year! :)

Did you ever try giving his new med at night? Just curious if that helped with the tired/irritability?

Prayers that this week is going well for Mr. Dawson and family!
