A time to sleep

The past couple of nights have been a lot different for us. Dawson has started a much better sleeping pattern. He has been sleeping 6+ hours at a time the past few nights and I cant begin to tell you how great it is all of us sleeping that long. Once again, answered prayers.

Seizures still remain at bay and he is just enjoying being a kid for now. He enjoys sitting and playing with his toys for long periods. He LOVES to sit in front of a mirror. There is something about watching himself in the mirror that fascinates him. Feeding himself finger foods is another thing he is really enjoying as well.

And now that he is finally sleeping long stretches at night, well, it just makes everything better when you've had some sleep. I'm sure he feels better as well.

I am sure there will be nights where the sleep is once again interrupted all night but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Thanks for checking in on our miracle. We love and appreciate you all

We are always thrilled when we check in and see things continue to go in the forward direction. He certainly is a miracle and such an inspiration to other families searching for the possible in the most impossible of situations. I am sure when other families find you, that you rally them in hope, knowing that perseverance, patience and prayer can often yield the miraculous. You have always been so honest and straight forward with raw and real emotions.Unselfish in the sharing and telling of your journey and as you begin to find yourself on the other side of this sometimes catastrophic disorder, you are humbled and grateful for the place you are at the moment. I think that is the greatest gift you give to the families who find you,we thank you, for that and the gift of your beautiful boy Dawson.
