After my last post, John went through a pretty tough couple of weeks. His seizures got strong enough that we came close to having him wear a helmet again. On a few occasions, he looked like he might be going in to a grand mal seizure again. Thankfully, that didn't happen. He also continued to have other strange behaviors like he would spit out almost anything he ate. He wanted to eat, but every time something went in his mouth he'd spit it out and cry. We took him to the doctor and the dentist to try to find a cause but they couldn't find anything. It was probably seizure related, but who knows. Thankfully, this behavior has also disappeared over the last couple of days. He did end up getting a pretty bad cold, so maybe all of this was related to an upcoming sickness.
Due to his cold, we haven't gotten his blood draw yet. We'll probably do that in the next week or two. I don't think there is any real hurry.
We had another meeting with the speech therapist, and we now have a plan to work on over the next month. Yoshie has been working pretty hard with this last week and I think it's paying off. He hasn't made any huge jumps, but he does appear to be learning a bit.
The last 2 days, John has really seemed to return to his normal self. He's had less than 10 seizures each of the last 2 days, and is happy most of the day. It really felt like things were going downhill quickly a couple of weeks ago so it's nice to be back to where things had stabilized.
