The leaves are falling....but Andrew is not

In the last couple of weeks Andrew's seizures have dropped off a little. He had an appointment with his neurologist from DHMC today. He had the results of the 24 hr ambulatory EEG. He said there was some basic improvement but the most important part is that he is NOT having any hypsarrythmic pattern on the EEG. That pattern is resposible for children not being able to learn. This is great news but his Neuro wants another EEG in the next week or two.

Today at school Andrew was in his pacer(walker) which he is quickly outgrowing. Typically they last at least 5 yrs. He has very little room for growth left. When he first got it he had a lot of room left!! What a healthy little boy. While in the pacer he is able to walk down the halls in the school. He walked all the way down the hall and stopped in Jessica's callroom from last year. Mrs Sobecki welcomed him right in!! He walked right in and looked around. OOPS what a distraction for those kids! He did not get to go in Jessica's classroom because her class door was closed....probably not a good thing for him to know, anyway. When he walked back down the hall he passed many doors; most of them open. When he came to the PT room he stopped outside the door and turned. He looked for a minute or so, then went right in!! This is so awesome for him! Once in the PT room he was walking in the pacer and ran into the stairs. He backed up then manuvered the pacer around the stairs.....problem solving?!?! He then saw another doorway and centered himself and went through the doors and around corners to the SLP's room. So very cool the accomplishments he has made!
