February 26, 2009 - Latest on Mr. Erik

Hello All! Things have been busy in the our household! Erik does seem to be continuing to make progress. Not that the enemy has given up! He has experienced 2 Grand Maul seizures (the last was this past Saturday - 2/21/2009) requiring Dyastat causing him to be non-functioning for 2-3 days this year but maybe this will be the last! He appears to be making the effort to create different sounds and is loving school too. Mom had the opportunity to share some of our trials with West Edgecombe Baptist Church February 8th (link to recorded message: http://www.webc1.org/templates/System/details.asp?id=36819&PID=578900). This was a challenge as our family has only shared maybe 2 times so far and it is emotional to "re-live" many of our experiences. Each time it gets easier and each time we are encouraged by people's interest and receptiveness. We are happy to share as it does give purpose to our trials. Please join us in prayer for Erik's seizure activity to cease completely and for him to continue to progress both physically and mentally. Love in Christ, Erik's Family
