Thursday January 9th update

Dawson is still having these clusters of very small seizures when coming out of sleep. Yesterday i think he had 15 in one spell. That's the most we have seen at one time. Other than that he is doing really well. We can still see changes in him daily and he is working on refining his grasp. He is able to reach out and touch things, and has the natural reflex to bring to his mouth whatever he can get in his hand. He is really trying to sit up now and from a reclined position can almost sit up right. He still needs help steadying himself in a seated position. So with that being said, he is doing all the things that a 4 month old should be doing and that in itself is a miracle.

We purchased a bed called an "Amby Bed" for him to sleep in. It is designed like a hammock and hangs from a spring so that when he moves the hammock bounces with him and helps put him back to sleep. It is supposed to closely mimic the movements while in the womb. Last night was his first night in it and he did pretty good. We are pretty sure there will be an adjustment period but hopefully it will help him sleep better.

Madison is much better today. Her fever broke last night sometime, and the first thing she wanted to do this morning was go see "Baby Buddy".

Thank you so much for thinking of us and checking in to see how he is doing.

We love you

Jeff and Allison
