Lately

Hello Friends!
I can't believe it has been almost a month since we last posted about Cutter. There has not really been anything new. Cutter is still having a few seizures, but they are only lasting several seconds instead of minutes. He continues to progress and is growing like crazy. He can now roll over all over the house, and we can't keep him still. He said his first word this week-"Dada". Sometimes it sounds like "Daddy." He continues to be the sweetest child and is incredibly happy and good-natured.

We went to Dr. Huffstutter today. He was very pleased with Cutter's progress. He took him off one of his medications (YAY) and will see him again in six weeks. He told us that he thought it would be a good idea for us to go ahead and talk with the neurosurgeon about future surgery. He said that now would be a good time since things have settled down and everything is calm. Surgery may or not may not be in Cutter's future, but before any decision can be made we need to have ALL of our questions answered.

We took Cutter to the CDSA in Morganton for an evaluation a few weeks ago. He scored very well in all areas but is in need of some physical therapy for his gross motor skills. Cutter will have a case worker and will hopefully start physical therapy services soon. We were especially pleased that Cutter scored above his age in the cognitive thinking skills area. (All mamas need to brag about their babies every once in awhile!!!)

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. PLEASE don't stop! We will keep you updated!!!
