Two & a half



Where did my baby go? It is hard to believe he is two & a half! I think all of his "baby" looks are completely gone! He has almost lost the last fat roll on his thighs! That is really hard to believe, but he has recently gotten taller & slimmed up a bit. He has come such a long way since this time last year. At that point, we were beginning to suspect some problems (seizures, delays) & had just begun the evaluation process with two different early intervention programs. Since then, he has been through too many evaluations & tests to count and even more therapy sessions. He was diagnosed with a seizure disorder & began medication for that. He went through an incredibly rough spell of severe tantrums. Thankfully that is past...for now anyway. Things feel like they are starting to fall in to place for him. In all honesty, we don't really know much more than we did a year ago, as far as why all of this is happening. We have had to accept the fact that we may never know the cause of Joshua's problems, but we aren't giving up on getting him the best help that is available. He has been seizure-free for almost 4 months, which is a huge blessing! We think that has been a big part of his progress in the past few months. We are so excited to see what the coming months & years hold for him. Thank you to all of you who have so faithfully prayed for our precious baby for the past year and a half or so!
