Quick prayer request

Titus is sick with a fever and some stomach issues today, and Hewitt threw up last night. I am a little nervous to see if a fever will follow. So far, he's been okay today, but the last time Hewitt had a fever was in the beginning of January and it triggered a massive amount of seizures. Please pray that he will be protected from whatever Titus has or that the medicine is enough to keep the seizures away even with a fever. We are ready for whatever, but hope that this won't be a point of regression. Thanks!

Birthday Pictures







The boys had a great birthday party this year. We wanted to keep it small, so we asked the Mallory family out at Camp Gilead if they would host a scavenger hunt and sleepover for them. They are friends of ours that have 5 little boys. We invited one other family that has 2 boys, so all together we had 11 boys 7 and under! It was a blast. They had a scavenger hunt around camp dressed up in their hero costumes, cooked smores over the camp fire, ate cupcakes and finished the night by watching Kung Fu Panda, and then got to sleep in camp cabins! Thanks to Camp Gilead and the Mallories, (and the Webers for coming too :) )

It was such a blessing to watch Hewitt run and play with the other boys, even running with a light saber in his hand WITHOUT a helmet. Praise God for this awesome break!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEWITT!

Hewitt turns 4 today! I can't think of a better way to be able to celebrate his birthday then enjoying it with almost 10 weeks of seizure freedom behind us. YAY Hewitt! He continues to improve in a lot of ways. I think the most remarkable improvement would be his memory. He is repeating and singing whole songs and often times remembering things I tell ALL the boys, better than his two older brothers. I don't know if I shared this earlier but we've been able to relax a little bit on his diet restrictions and he was able to help with cupcakes that we made for his cubbie class at AWANA tonight. Powdered sugar frosting and all. Hopefully they won't make him sick!

We continue to be concerned about his gross motor skills and encourage him to run and play as much as possible. I will be posting an update on a recent meeting we had with the school district trying to get him some services in thier special needs preschool. But, for today, I just want to say, Happy Birthday Hewitt! (it's also Lincoln's 7th birthday) We are proud of the way he's endured this last year and look forward to seeing how things will (hopefully) continue to improve this next year.
