Hello everyone. We hope Everybody had a Merry Christmas!!
Yesterday as Dawson was getting up from a nap he had a spell of seizures. Allison said it was a cluster of about 8 really quick ones. He was fine afterwards and haven't seen anything since then. This week we started to reduce the amount of ACTH he gets and yesterday was his first day at a reduced dosage. Each week now the dosage will be reduced until he is completely off of it. He is looking pretty swollen now. His hands, feet, and face are quite puffy but hopefully as we come off of the ACTH that will reduce pretty quick.
Dawson is really trying to sit up now. You can see him trying when you set him in his bouncy seat, and we are ecstatic to see him trying to do new things developmentally.
We had a great Christmas and its nice to have all 4 kids together for a week.
Thanks for looking in and for praying for Dawson

Will they increase his dose back now, since he has had the spell this morning?
Sure would be great if we could enjoy the wisdom of God instead of being stuck with these little "pea brains" of ours so we could see where he is going with all of this. Thanks to His great love and the gift of faith instilled and nurtured by the Holy Spirit we can be comforted in the arms of His grace and know that that He does indeed have His hand on Dawson and all of you guys.
Praying for you daily,
Uncle Jim
