We just had a visit from on of the Evaluators with Early Intervention. She did a lot of tests and asked a lot of questions. Her main job is to evaluate Dawson and see where he is developmentally and what services he might need.
As most of you know, if you do any research on Infantile Spasms, you will repeatedly see the words " Catastrophic Illness" " Mental Retardation" and " Severe Developmental Delays" associated with this disease. Problem is...
Nobody told Dawson. It appears that he passed all the test with flying colors. He is no different than any other 5 month old baby. ISN'T GOD GOOD!!!!!
We are so thankful that he continues to develope normally. Our Faith, and our God, and Your prayers make all that possible. THANK YOU
Please continue to pray that we will find an answer for his seizures and that he will continue to develope normally.
Also for those of you who know Madison. She was tickled to death to have sombody ( the evaluator) she could show her room and all her stuff to.

Hey guys! I am so excited to hear that he is still on track. How could he not be though. You are both wonderful parents totally committed to making sure that he keeps up and you are keeping a positive attitude and praising God every step of the way. I am so proud of you and love you very much! Tell Madison that I can't wait to come see her room again and Owenn can't wait to come play with her vacuum cleaner again!
It really is a blessing that Dawson's seizures were diagnosed and treated at such an early age. I do think that is very important in stopping the potential developmental delays! Unfortunately with Reagan we didn't see them until she was 5 months old and they weren't typical for infantile spasms so the doctors didn't treat it as IS. At the time the small jerks that she did seemed so insignificant, but they have really wrought havoc with her development! Consider Dawson very lucky!!
AWESOME!!! Praise God! It's all thanks to him. That is such wonderful news! I am glad to hear it.
