And oh what a year it has been. This year has been an action packed year for us to say the least. Anytime you have one child living with Infantile Spasms and another child diagnosed with Type I Diabetes.. Well that's a lot to have to deal with in one year. The only thing that got us through to where we are to day is by the complete grace of God. He has been so good to us and has shown us so many things this year. 2008 has certainly been a turning point in my own personal life. God has shown Allison and I a lot about faith, trust, and being obedient to his will this year and has used situations like Dawson's and Katelin's to teach us so many things.
This exact time one year ago our lives were filled with such uncertainty and turmoil. Exactly one year later there is nothing but pure unadulterated joy as we watch Dawson continue to blossom in a world that doesn't involve seizures. He is healthy, smart, inquisitive, and social. He is everything you could ever want in a 15th month old toddler ( and then some.)
Katelin continues to be resilient and brave, faced with numerous blood checks and multiple injections of insulin everyday. I am so proud of these strong kiddos. Madison started pre school this year and it must be hard for her knowing something is wrong with her brother. She is such a great caretaker of him and her ability to adjust to these different scenarios as they come up is admirable. I am so proud of all four of them.
I believe in 2008 our family came under spiritual attacks. I believe that the evil in this world wanted to use these things to tear apart and break down a family that believes the word of God.
We turned to him in our time of need and he alone turned those bad situations into a situations that glorified him and continues to do so to this day. Through him we are victorious over the enemy.
We can't wait to see what 2009 will bring. We want to thank all of you who have kept up with us on a regular basis. Thank you to those who were prayer warriors in our darkest hours, and thank you to our family who didn't stand behind us, but beside us this past year.
God bless you and know that we love all of you
Jeff and Allison

The miracle we've seen take place in your lives this year has certainly been a blessing. It gives me hope that Reagan will get her miracle in the coming year!
