John turned 9 earlier this week. We just had a family party, but he had a great time opening presents, eating cake, and jumping in the inflatable bouncer with his cousins.
Yesterday was his last day of 3rd grade. I think he had a pretty good year. He will be at the same school again next year, although his main teacher will change.
We're off to Tokyo tomorrow. It's anybodies guess how he will do on the long plane flight. He does great on long car drives, so we're hopeful the plane will be the same. But, he can also get very wound up and there is really no way to calm him down. It could be an interesting flight.
As far as seizures go, he has remained very consistent for a long time. He continues to have clusters of small seizures every day and the occasional larger seizure. Learning is the same as always. He continues to learn, but progress is so slow that it is sometimes hard to tell.
