Hi Everyone!!
It has been quite a while since I have last updated, but I do follow the board religously and love to see what your "little one's" are accomplishing. As for "Benny", he has been doing well as of late(knock on wood). 2 months ago, he did have another major seizure which was triggered by a fever. He had to be intibated, and was at our local Children's Hospital for two days. He did bounce back quickly, and our Neurologist has since weaned him off Tegretol and onto Keppra(better for fever-induced Epilepsy).
Since we got home from the hospital, he has started to crawl! He was crawling on his belly, but he has since started the "real thing." He still won't pull up, but we are really working on it with the Therapists. He is all over the place now, and starting to act like a real toddler! LOL He will be 2-years old in December, and while I would love to see him walk, I am just happy to see him crawl! Did any of your little ones struggle with pulling up? He has done it once in his "pack and play", but hasnt done it since. It almost seems like he is so excited to crawl, that he has lost interest in pulling up!
The PT is thinking about Orthodics for him, but she wants to try a few other things first. I kind of wish she would be a little bit more proactive.
I look forward to continuing to post here, and wish all of you the very best! Stay strong mommas!
Take Care,
Carrie

That is wonderful the he is crawling! He will pull up soon. I think that being in the weight baring position really really strengthens their arms, so it is only a matter of time. He is so handsome. He is such a good looking kid!!!

Also, I noticed regression with all of my kids when they learned a new skill. So it may look for awhile that he isn't even trying to pull up, when he was at least trying pre-crawling days. But sooner then you think it will all come together. I am so excited for you guys! Keep us posted!!!
