***A Day in the Life of the Watsons!***: Help at last?

This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Help at last?

The PICU dr., Dr. Avant came in and talked to Jr. and he says that when Preston's body goes rigid, heart rate increases and sweats, that he is having "storms" which is too much electrical activity in the lower part of the brain. Finally a young dr. thinks he has the answer to this problem. There is a medication to help this, and he is putting Preston on it today. It may take months to rectify, and he may never be completely over it. It occurs often with brain injuries; with Preston it is due to the many brain surgeries and the infection he had. PTL we might be getting somewhere finally in this area! He said it is like having a leg cramp over your whole body. Can you imagine? I am so glad this dr. thinks he has the answer. I pray it is the right answer.
