Good news / Bad news

The Good news is, is that Dawson is back to his old self again. It seems that whatever was ailing him has passed. Fever is gone, appetite is back, and his smiling happy go luck self ( that we were really starting to miss) is back. He was working on cutting some of his 2 year molars and either they have broken through or stopped bothering him. There is no way I'm sticking my fingers that far back in his mouth to find out. Id rather poke a wolverine with a stick as to put my fingers between his choppers like that. So thank goodness he is feeling better!!

The bad news is, is that seizures are still around. the past few days its been only in the early morning so we are blessed to have them contained. But none the less, they are here. Looming and lurking around. Right now we have doubled his dose of Topamax from 15 mg morning and night to 30 mg morning and night. I'm not sure what the next move is either. I feel like we will be in a holding pattern until all of those test we had done last week come back.

So here's to a happy Dawson!! Thanks for your prayers and support as we once again kneel in prayer for seizure freedom.

Our love to all

Jeff and Allison

I was SO happy when Trevy got his PET scan done...cause they did a head CT first. And it showed his molars pushing towards the surface! And it helped explain his crankies without mommy losing a finger!
I'm so sorry that you're seeing seizures still...but happy that Dawson is feeling better...
