Since it has been so long since my last update, I better fill you in on everything....

Jetty is now 17 months old and is still as strong as ever. He is off of the ketogenic diet which has made things easier on us. His medicines are easier to give him and we can do oral stimulation with fruits and other sweet foods. He is not eating through his mouth but every now and then he will react to the taste.

His seizures are different everyday... some days he has one every couple minutes, some days he has one every hour. But they have been short and comes out of them on his own.

He has been gaining weight here recently which is a relief! He was 18lbs last week which is a huge improvement. He is cutting teeth which is miserable and causes him to have more seizures but he is handling it well.

He still doesn't smile or express emotion but he does let out a big yawn and some strong stretches from time to time which gives us a chuckle.

I am not sure if he likes having a little brother yet, as Clay seems to absorb all of Mommy's attention. But he has his Daddy there spoiling him constantly.

We are much more excited for Thanksgiving this year. Jetty is going to get some mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie put in his mouth. I'll be sure to take a picture of it for you!

Jetty had a procedure done at Hopkins back in October. They scoped his stomach to see if he had any issues going on in there which may be causing him pain. They found nothing out of the ordinary except some redness and inflamation caused by his medicines. We started him on some more antiacid drugs.

This is how Jetty and Clay get to their grandparent's house. Grandma doesn't like it.

Nurse Melissa bought Jetty and Clay matching pirate outfits.

I fall asleep on daddy everynight while he watches tv. If he's not here, I don't sleep.
