So far the weekend is going great. Dawson is in a great mood this evening ( which makes everything A-OK) It does the heart good to see him when hes in his happy moods. He is so funny!!
Ashlyn and Katelin ended their two week visit today and we have once again gone from 6 back to 4. Yuk I hate it when they are not here with me.
Katelin's diabetes is doing ok as well. Her b/s numbers have been really good most of the day with the exception of her bed time check. We talked to the folks at Vanderbilt this afternoon and we are increasing her insulin dosages a little with supper in hopes that this will remedy those high bedtime numbers. She, as always, continues to be brave and refuses to let Diabetes stand in her way of doing the things she wants to do.
Dawson too is not letting these seizures get him down to much these days either. He continues to grow and learn and run and talk. All the things that we want our children to do he is doing. His fine and gross motor skills are fine and the only area that we are not seeing a huge improvement is his speech. He IS improving, just not at the same rate he was before the return of the seizures. ( This is strictly my opinion by the way.)
It is obvious he does understand everything we say, and can follow instructions from us to him to the letter. I kinda felt like the last few posts seemed to leave an impression that he was not doing well. Don't get me wrong, the seizures suck and we hate them with a passion. It breaks out hearts to watch this beautiful little boy of ours have seizures, BUT, God is still doing some wonderful and amazing things with Dawson. Despite the seizures, Dawson continues to thrive. How he is is tomorrow is not up to us anyway. We put him in God's hands in the very beginning when he was only two months old, and he remains there today. That's the joy of God being in control right?? If he is in control, then what in the world do I have to worry about anyway!!
Your prayers and kind words have and continue to help us in so many ways. We thank you and Love you all

When Trevy's IS returned I was SO worried I would lose him. Lose all that he had grown into. And even though he hasn't gained new skills...he hasn't lost what he was given during his seizure free months either. It was easier to breath as the months passed though. And I am SO thankful for who he is!
Dawson is a cute lil' bugger! My prayer is that he keeps on defying the odds!
