Well, we made it home Tuesday afternoon after a long, but good road trip. I am sorry it has taken me awhile to post, but so much to catch up on after being gone for so long. We were in Detroit for a little over 4 weeks, but Jackson and I have actually been out of our house since the beginning of July. Before Detroit, we were doing treatment therapies in Austin and staying with my parents. So we are truly happy to be at home after 4 months away! We also got hit with IKE, but Tony did a great job getting our house ready for us with all the remodeling repairs and cleaning.
Tony was so happy to see Jackson! It was so hard for him to leave Jackson 2 days after surgery and wait 4 weeks to see him. He just cannot believe how "different" Jack is now. We are really enjoying our time together and watching our son with new amazement!
Yesterday, we had a first Occupational therapy appointment at a private facility that deals in Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Therapy. The therapist was so awesome with Jackson and has over 20 years of experience...I am so glad we found her! We will start going to Occ. Therapy 3 times a week beginning next week. We still have to get evaluations for PT, Speech and Vision therapy. (Vision since Jackson lost left sided peripheral vision from the surgery...but will get better again over time.)
Today, we took Jackson to see his Epileptologist here in Houston. He too could see great changes in Jackson and commented that we could not be in a better place post-surgery. We agree! We will follow up with him in 3 months for an EEG and evaluation.
Jackson is sleeping through the night in his OWN bed in his room, he is all over the place, moving, grabbing everything in sight, trying to get our dogs, talking so much more...even mimicking us. We are just so blessed and ecstatic to see all these changes on a daily basis. We continue to thank God everyday for our little thriving miracle.
I will post pictures tomorrow of our road trip home and Jackson! Thanks for checking in and the continued prayers for Jackson's recovery!
