Tent fun





It has been rainy today. We got out the tents to play with, here are some pics of Carson and the kids playing together. Carson is doing better each day, today was a great day, lots of playing and has been wide awake and enjoying the fun.

We talked to the Neurologist today about Carson's increased seizures. He has been having at least 6, what we call Grande Mal seizures, a day. During these seizures, Carson is shaking, holding his breath and turning blue, the duration on each individual seizure is an average of 20 seconds. These seizures wipe him out. Carson's neurologist would like to add a drug called Neurontin, this will help with seizures, nerve pain and his stiffness. Please pray that this is a good drug for Carson and that it works well. We will be starting it tonight.

I can only imagine the fears that go along with starting a new drug. We'll just pray that for Carson, this one does just as it's supposed to do.
The fun in the tents looks great. We should all do that! Who doesn't remember getting all the blankets out and stringing them over stuff. Makes me smile thinking about it.
