Spencer update


Here's a picture of all 3 kids loving the spin art. It's rare that I capture one of the 3 of them together plus doing an activity together! One for the memory books for sure. Thanks again Darrin and Lex!

OK Spencer update:


- The overnight EEG found some abnormalities, but the doctors said he didn't have a seizure during the test. Due to those abnormalities though they said he had a risk for seizure activity. No medication was recommended at this point.

- We have a follow up with the original doctor in March and also with the neurologist.

- Spencer is still very prompt dependent. Needing help with day to day tasks in a way he didn't before. He is more animated- will get annoyed at Tyler, throw a fit now and then, get the sillies etc. It is nice to see that part of him coming back to us. :)

- School is about the same, still won't eat at school, but eating better at home. We have a few strategies in place at both places to help him with this issue.

- He's gained some of the weight back. Still a skinny minny, but at least he's getting closer to the graph. He's 64 lbs when I made him step on the scale at the gym. *Sammie was 85 and Tyler was 48 if that gives you a reference! At least he's bigger than Tyler!

I think that's everything. If you were wondering or worrying about anything else in particular give me a ring. Overall we feel the worst is over. He will eat with assistance now so we hope he will continue to gain weight and feel more like himself.
