March 3, 2008 - Update on Erik!

Hello Everyone! We have been busy of late but so far, all is good! Erik continues to make small steps - he is sitting up for longer periods of time without added support (I think we are up to 2-3 minutes now), he is making better and longer sustained eye contact, and he appears to be more responsive to things most of us take for granted. One example is that when he hears us come into his room in the morning, he now looks towards the door for us! This is awesome to see! We still are struggling with controlling the seizure activity. It has been better of late but we are still seeing weekly seizure activity. Please continue to pray for Erik to stay well in this time of many viruses and illnesses going around, pray for complete restoration, for complete control of the seizure activity and for him to continue to be motivated to make progress. Love in Christ, Erik's Family
