Excited & Apprehensive


News of the day, of the week, of the year…..Peyton has had only ONE seizure in the past 48 hours.  This has NOT happened since she started having seizures.  I want to be excited and do some cartwheels, but first, me doing a cartwheel is not even a remote possibility and second, being excited scares me to death.  This roller coaster we have been on for 8 months hasn’t allowed us to be excited for very long so I am maintaining my cool and being thankful for 48 hours of only ONE seizure.
 
Latest developments are several…..Peyton has a stander.  This is a device that is helping her learn to stand and helps with weight bearing on her legs and hips.  I am posting pics – she didn’t like it at first, but after she got comfy, she loved it and even fell asleep in it!!    She continues to bat at her toys and has even started putting weight on her legs when I hold her and she straddles my leg with her feet on the floor.  She is making more eye contact and is much quicker to let us know when she’s unhappy these days.  She is cutting her second tooth so we have had some sleepless nights, but we are ok with this – I would rather she be fussing from teething then sleeping from seizures. 

Progress is slow, but progress IS progress!

LET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!!
ZZZZZZZ.............
