Saturday April 5th update

Happy Saturday everybody. Yesterday was a much better seizure day for Dawson. He had only 6 after one nap 3 after another and we haven't seen anything yet this morning. He turned 7 months old yesterday so we thought it would be a great time to post a little video of him. He is growing up so fast and I just cant believe how big he is getting to be. We are as proud as punch of him!!!

Yesterday the Occupational Therapist came out to visit with Dawson. The only concern she had was the lack of usage in the left hand. He uses it just fine but they want him to use it as much as he does his right hand. Other than that she thought he looked great. We have been given some exercises that we will be doing with him to further help rolling and sitting and getting him poised to crawl. ( I'm not sure I am ready for him to be mobile yet.) He is interested in EVERYTHING that he sees and must pick up everything he can get his tiny little mitts on. I cant imagine how its going to be when hes on the loose.

As of this morning we titrated up on his Topamax. Most times we really have to struggle to get all those tiny little pellets down him. Somehow he knows when the spoon has just baby food on it VS. a spoon with baby food and those stupid pellets. He has also learned to how keep most of the baby food in his mouth, while at the same time, spit out all of the Topamax. If your too close to his face when he does this its alot like being shot at with a BB gun. ( Dont ask me how I know what this is like. My folks read this blog and I would rather not explain.)

We are also glad to have Ashlyn and Katelin with us this weekend. Madison loves them being here and I think this afternoon Im going to take all these girls fishing. We will be sure to take some pictures and share with everybody.

We hope everybody has a great weekend and we love you

Jeff and Allison
