We increased Zachery's Depakene
to 5
ml. 3x a day a few weeks ago. So far, we
have
seen a decrease in his spasms again.
He has also started letting go and
taking 4-5
steps all alone. He is doing such a
great job
and I am so very proud!!

It's official, Zachery is
finally
walking on
his own!! We are so excited to see him
overcome so much. We are also VERY
thankful
to his P/T, Lynn, who has worked very
hard
with him for the past 4 months. She has
taught us so many helpful ways to work
with
him. She is so great! She and Zachery
just
clicked from day 1. Early Intervention
is the
best thing we ever did for Zachery. Here
just
4 months ago, he was just learning to
sit up
alone and now he's into everything and
hitting the terrible 2's(early).Thank
God!!
Zachery is still having a
very
occassional sez, but mostly when he's
really
tired or sick. They have really
decreased in
severity. They only last maybe 30
seconds now
and you wouldn't know he's having one if
you
weren't looking. I'm so glad that he is
still
developing and not regressing!

Zachery is doing really great!
He hasn't had any sezs in *7* weeks. We
are so very happy and hoping the storm
is over. He saw the neuro a few weeks
ago and he was so pleased with him. He
couldn't believe how well Zach was
doing. It was really funny because Zach
walked over and made Dr. Ottinger pick
him up. Dr. O just loved him. He was so
impressed that Zach is walking and so
active. He told us that his medicine
levels all look good and since he isn't
having any sezs, we're gonna stay where
we are on the meds. He still takes
Depakene Syrup 5ml.-3 times a day and
Clonazepam 1/2 a tablet-3 times a day.
Zach is doing really good in
his EI program. He goes to the classroom
twice a week and it is helping his
social skills alot.
I've been trying to teach
Zach to give big hugs and kisses for the
past week. Wouldn't you know it, the
little turkey decides he's going to show
his Daddy what he's learned. The little
trader. LOL!! I am also trying to teach
him to say, "I Love You". So far, he
says, "I", but I just know he'll end up
saying it at the most unexpected time.
I'm just so very proud of everything
he's accomplished in the past few
months!
