Sunday - 48 hours after

So far so WONDERFUL! Jackson was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms on December 1, 2007. He has had countless seizures everyday of his life for the past 11 months. Well, today we can say the past 2 days have been SEIZURE FREE! We don't know what tomorrow may bring, but we are not even going to look for it. We are going to look for all things positive and continue our road to complete recovery!!!! We feel so grateful and blessed, and look forward to what God has in store for our little man.

There are so many children that are affected by this catastrophic form of epilepsy. Like most, we never heard of Infantile Spasms until our baby was diagnosed, but after researching and learning, it is incredible how many kids have IS. We pray the same wish for all the IS children, as we do for our son and that is to find their answer to be Seizure Free and overcome this neurological disorder!

Jackson is still sleeping a lot, but waking some to eat and watch TV. I will be glad when he is able to have the drain removed from his head and the the catheter out. I think he will be a lot more comfortable. We will continue to keep you updated! Thanks to all!

I've been following your story...but my heart has been hanging in this place where I just don't even know what to say...afraid that it might come out wrong! Ugh! But I'm truly truly thrilled that you've celebated two days SF! And SO hoping this is just the beginning! And btw...if we move towards a place where surgery is an option for Trevy... just might be hitting you up for advice! *smile*
