Dawson continues to do really well. It is so amazing the changes in him from just a couple of weeks ago until now. He is saying Da Da on a regular basis now with an occasional Ma Ma so it is nice to see language starting to develope in him.
Last night Dawson started doing something new. He was sitting on the bed and threw himself backwards on his back. Rolled to his side and sat himself up. I think it even amazed him because he did it over and over and over again until he finally wore himself out sitting up. We are blessed and so thankful to God to see these developmental changes taking place in him. It is a lot more fun watching this kind of stuff vs. counting seizures.
His sleep continues to be off at night. He is only getting short naps during the day and at night he is waking up all through the night. Some nights are better than others but in general sleeping at night is a huge issue for us. Neither Allison or myself has slept an entire night uninterrupted in over 9 months now. We were really hoping that with the disappearance of the seizures that we would see a change in his sleeping pattern. Not yet anyway.
Katelin continues to do really well. Her blood sugar numbers have been really great the past couple of days and it seems like they are leveling out and staying at or around a consistent range. It has been quite tiresome preparing meals, checking blood, preparing snacks, counting carbs, figuring out how much insulin she needs with each meal, giving injections, ect ect
( yes I'm whining) But is is so worth it to see the results and the good blood sugar numbers.
Thanks for the constant prayers and support. Keep them coming please
We love you
Jeff and Allison

I think it is nothing short of miraculous that Dawson has continued to progress so well despite his seizures. What an absolute joy it must be to watch him aquire new tricks. Sleep will correct itsef, I am sure it will just take some time. Could be just a matter of his little body becoming use to waking so often. A habit of sorts.I am sure also that you will all begin to aquire your own new norm where Katelin is concerned. A time thing also. A practice in patience once again.
