Tay Makes a Big Splash at GiGi's Gala Fundraiser

Taylor's buddy - Jamal Anderson
Tonight was a special night.

We attended a fundraiser for GiGi's Playhouse.  There are currently 8 in the U.S. and in 2 months, our friend Adrienne Mulligan will be opening the 9th in Atlanta.  GiGi's Playhouses are Down syndrome awareness and educational centers that provide resources, specialized teaching, and support to individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community...all for free.  (www.GiGisPlayhouse.org) 

Taylor looks forward to introducing you to GiGi's next time you visit.

Time to Celebrate - Absolute Best News From Memphis !

We received the best news from our appointment in Memphis yesterday.  The doctors there are pretty amazing.  Taylor had his EEG at 8:30am.  By 10:30, the docs had studied the entire report and gave us the good news...Taylor's EEG was perfect! 

If he continues along this track, they believe he can start weening off the anti-seizure medicine in 6 months.  I'll let Taylor show you how happy he was to hear the news...
We took this video just as we exited off the interstate last night, just a few blocks from home.  The weather was perfect so we rolled Tay's window down so he could enjoy the breeze:

Tay is Happy As Can Be!

Taylor hasn't had a seizure since that single episode on Jan 30th.  He continues to learn new skills, many which involve his fine motor skills.

It's such a nice feeling, tucking Taylor into bed at night knowing that he had an incredible day.  Being able to watch the true little boy come out of his shell from this "seizure coma" he's been in for so long.  It sure takes a lot of stress out of our lives.  :)

We're headed back to Memphis tomorrow for his check-up on Monday.  We'll be sure to fill you in after we know more.  In the meantime, check out this video we recorded tonight:
