from constant infantile spasms to SF


Just had to share!!!! Ethan has not had a seizure in exactly 3 months today!!!!!! He went from constant infantile spasms (jackknife) to seizure free for 3 months. EEg is clear.
He is learning, progressing, trying to roll over. He laughs and figures things out. He is social and starting to hold toys, It's just AMAZING!!!! If I can figure it out later today, I'm going to post a "before" and "after" pic from when he was knocking on death's door to today being healthy, happy, and functioning.
Not many people in their lives get to see a "true" miracle from God. I do everday- I watch and see someting new everyday and KNOW it had to be GOD!! Even most of the doctors had pretty much given up hope.
Moral of the story: Don't give up... it really could happen!!!!


P.S. Yes, I'm having LOTS of fun with him!!!!!

Rhea,

That is such wonderful news! A huge relief. With prayers, I'm hoping now he'll be seizure free for life.

He just rolled over today for the first time!!!! He is now 13 months old, and is learning at about twice the rate as to what he should have been doing his first months. Already he is up to about 5-6 month age for doing stuff. We're all just so excited to see what he will do today!!!!
