Look mommy, I'm not in the hospital!

Knock on wood, but it's the first weekend in 3 weeks we're not checked into Chateau de la Hospitale!
(yes, Travis, I know that's not grammatically correct)
We are 23 needle-sticks into the steroid treatments.  We don't want to get too optimistic at this early stage, but the past few days have been fairly decent for Taylor.  He is still having seizures, but the total number and severity of them have decreased noticeably.

We're keeping a detailed daily chart of everything that occurs.  Our next EEG is on Wednesday.  This will help us understand if his brainwaves have become less erratic since last Sunday.  The goal over the next several weeks is to completely suppress his seizures and normalize his brainwaves so he can return to learning the fun stuff in life.

The steroids have definitely increased Tay's appetite.  He's racking up the pounds by the minute, so you may not recognize our little sumo wrestler next time you see him.  :)

Taylor appreciates your continued concern.
more to come...
