Hello from the Wade's. We are not sure what happened to the link for the the website we previoulsy did but hopefully this one will work. We are so appreciative of everybody and their interest and prayers for Dawson.
He is still doing well. Today was his 7th injection of the ACTH. So far no side effects and his seizures are still down in numbers. He is having about 3 eppisodes on average during a 24 hour period with anywhere from 4 to 8 small seizeures per episode. This is a big difference from the 15 to 20 episodes he was having a day.
We are so thankful he is responding well to the injections and the ultimate goal is for them to stop. We are told that reducing them in number really isnt going to do a whole lot of good. The nurologist wants them to stop all together.
We are cautiously optimistic at this point.
We have a Doctors visit in Huntsville this afternoon with the Neurologist. She wanted to see him after he had been on ACTH for a week. We are hoping and praying for a good report.
Thanks for checking in and we will give an update after we hear from the Doctor
We love you all and keep praying!!

About Me
- Dawson
- Dawson was born Sept 4 2007 and was diagnosed as having Infantile Spasms when he was 2 months old. Infantile spasms are a rare seizure disorder. Our story is one of faith and hope. Dawson now has multiple seizure types as well as developmental delays. We are prayerful that we will be able to find a way to stop the seizure monster that lurks in his brain. Your prayers and support mean the world to us.

Hi jeff and alley
The site looks good and will really be a big help to the many folks who are concerned and praying for all of you.
Can you place Dawson's picture back on?
We are also hoping the new medicine will be effective, but we understand that this is a process and it may take some time to get it right.
We are looking forward to seeing you all this weekend. Don is coming and wants to see you. This will be his first chance to meet his new grand nephew.
We love you all very much!!!!
