SNOW DAY!

Today is my first official snow day from school. This is so cool - I get to stay home and play with Christy and Drew all day, instead of going to school and working so hard. And I prepared very well for it by sleeping for FOUR HOURS yesterday as a nap. Then I slept hard all night, too, just in case I needed extra energy today. So today I will play at home and work in the stander, etcetera. There isn't a lot of snow on the ground, so I expect that I'll have to go back to school tomorrow. Oh well, at least I got to have a little fun today!

Shout it from the rooftops!!!

I couldn't have better news to share! In December, I had surgery to straighten my eyes and they look SO GOOD now! Not only that, but my teachers at school seem to think that I am looking better at things all the time. I had some time off of school around the holidays, and boy did I have fun with Mommy, Daddy and Drew. And man, was it tiring getting back to the daily grind.

But here is the best, best news of all: I had an EEG test done in November, and it says that there was no seizure activity in my brain waves. This is the test that I had that told the doctors that I was having seizures, and now I don't seem to have ANY bad brainwaves any more. This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It could mean that I could stop taking so much medicine, which would be great for me.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for all their thoughts and prayers to get me to this point. You guys rock.

Been a while...

Hey guys -it's been a very busy month. I had surgery on my eyes to help straighten then, and in a few hours I have to go back to the doctor to make sure they are okay. I was great for the surgery - only a little cranky afterwards. It's amazinf that I had surgery on both my eyes and went home 2 hours later!!!

Anyway, my brother keeps getting bigger. He's a monster-weed! He's started smiling at everyone lately, trying to get in their good graces. Whatever - I'm the favorite!

Mommy will have to go abck to work soon and I'll have to share Christy with Drew. I hope he knows how to share? I am learning all about sharing at school, where I am still a star pupil. We go to the library on Mondays and I get to bring a book home every week now! Very, very cool. Mommy and I read the books every night before bed, and it's cool because with my new eyes I may be able to see better, and the pictures will make more sense. I've also started using more consonant sounds - "j", "g", "n" and "b" have all made appearances lately. I guess I am trying to say Jug or Nub. Or Jag or Nab. Or...you get the picture!!

Good News

I know I said, as Connor, that we'd get Halloween photos up, and that will come tomorrow. But today...today was great. Today we went to see Connor's neurologist, Dr. McClintock. It was a good appointment, but the best part was at the end, when he said that he thinks Connor will stand independently someday. This is by far the most positive he has been about Connor's potential and it was truly exciting, and unexpected, to hear.

I hope each of you reading this is as happy to read it as I am to write it for you.

And I do promise - Halloween photos tomorrow. And look for a companion blog soon - for Drew! I think we have a good nickname started, so I can finally arrange for the new blog address.

Almost Forgot!

If you look to the right, there's a list of blogs you can visit from here. The last one listed is "Connor's school blog" and is the page that his teacher, Ms. Rachael, updates. There are frequently photos of Connor doing great things at school there, so you should check it out!!! (signed - Mommy)
