Are you kidding me

Yesterday Dawson had an appt with his local pediatrician. We went hoping to discuss the results from his Atlanta surgery but he had not received the entire packet of information. We received at home a 4 page synopsis of some of the results, but apparently the Doctors get the equivalent of a book on all his testing. His Neuro in Huntsville is awaiting the disc that contains all the information before she will talk to us either. Regardless, we showed his pediatrician what we had and he took the time to read the report and said there was nothing on there that he was really that concerned about. He also mentioned that some of the testing that was contained in the report was " Way out there" and that not only pediatricians, but neuro pediatricians would not even know about half of that stuff.

None the less, he was ecstatic at how well Dawson was doing ( as we all are.) He got to see him crawl, bear crawl, and even speak a couple of words during the visit. Dawson has been working on cruising lately. He has been pulling up on everything for a good while now, but now hes starting to walk around a little while holding on. How great is our God!!!!

This next thing is kinda funny. For Dawson's birthday, Allison went out and bought him a gift. It's an educational toy that has buttons and whistles and knobs and all sorts of things. Push something and the thing will talk to you and say different stuff. You get the picture.....
Dawson finally got around to playing with this new present the other night and Allison calls me into his room and says " Would you listen to this!!!" She starts pushing this button and the stupid thing will only speak SPANISH!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

Now, I refuse to use my son's medical blog to air out my political grievances, BUT do we as parents now have to read our kids toys to see what language its going to speak. ( and yes, its marked on the box that is speaks only Spanish.) Wake up people, this is America and English is our language. Nuff said

We are sorry for such the delay in this post, things have been crazy and is seems as though we run from daybreak to well past dark before anybody gets the chance to actually sit down and think about whats been going on. Dawson's progress continues at a rapid rate and we are so thankful that Doctors don't have the last word. As always, thanks for your prayers and support. We so appreciate everything that you have done for us.

Jeff and Allison
