Happy days are here again

What a great weekend!! and what a great day today too!!

Today marks day 10 with no seizures!! can you believe it?? and what a difference it has made. Dawson is a completely different kid with no seizures. I need to make a correction to my last post.. I had stated that we were going back to the original dose of Zonegran because we weren't liking what it was doing to him. We stayed at the same dose, just started giving it to him all at one time instead of am/pm..

So this small increase seems to be really helping all things seizure related and giving it to him all at once has helped a lot with the mood/violence/aggression/behavior stuff.

In the last 10 days we are seeing the REAL Dawson come out again. Oh my how we have missed him. He is playful and funny and over the last couple of days extremely verbal again. He has talked non stop today. Tonight I was trying to get a picture of him with my phone and he saw himself on the screen, pointed to it and said " Dawson." We have been trying forever to get him to recognize himself and this week he has done it twice. He usually just pats himself and says " baby"

We are just ecstatic to have this time with him with no seizures. We have been fighting seizures DAILY for so long and we are truly thankful to God for this. He is just so..... HAPPY and who can blame him!!

So here's to another day of seizure freedom, and prayers that tomorrow will be seizure free as well
