5 weeks post op; 15 month check ups

I know we talk about PT, OT and C's educator frequently but I am not sure if we ever really discuss how much we work with C on things...I am not sure I've had this much homework since college! While a lot of the PT/OT/Education things overlap you can't always do them at the same time so most of our day is spent doing some type of therapy.  Some of it is fun and some of it is not so fun but I know in my heart that all of our hard work will pay off!

Speaking of paying off...look who is moving right along in the standing department!!! No more knee stabilizers!!!!! This girl kicks some serious booty!!!!! :)

Jackson and Charlie Claire are big 15 month old toddlers now! We celebrated by going to the pediatrician and by C getting sick and projectile vomiting every where!! It was a stellar day!

Dr. Cotton is AWESOME! She is always so excited to see us and she is always pleased with how well Charlie Claire is progressing.  She never rushes us, always answers all of our questions, etc. She is just the best!

Jackson is currently 31 1/4in and 25lbs 4oz and CBear is 30 1/4in and 21lbs.  C has only gained 3lbs since March and her steroid days but Dr. Cotton isn't concerned since she eats just fine and she is growing. We just think the steroids plumped her up super fast so now she has just slowed down. Dr. Cotton thought both J and C looked awesome and that they both are doing great!

Jackson has recently discovered my shelf with all the bottle pieces and C's syringes.  It's so hard to stop him when he was having so much fun!

It's been a week since we increased Charlie Claire's lamitical. The seizure # hasn't seemed to increase or decrease but the seizures themselves seem more pronounced. We talked to the neuros office today and we are going to decrease the lamicital. If things improve on the decreased dose then we will know that the lamicital is contributing. If nothing changes on the decreased dose then it probably means the lamitical isn't doing anything to help at this point. We check back with them in a week unless things get really bad before then.

The babies and I started our 1/2 marathon training today - they are awesome running companions if you were wondering!!! We have a long way to go but we are on our way!

My little running friends are BFFs and like to hold hands!!!!! L.O.V.E.
