1st Birthday

Today is Reesies 1st birthday!! And we've made it through the first year without too many bad incidences. Reeses can now roll all the way over from his back to front, although he still needs help from front to back. He can hold his own bottle and is starting to use and grab with his hands a lot more. He is doing quite well and his neuro is always surprised and pleased with the progress he is making.
We also got a very nice 1st birthday gift (kind of) from the neurologist yesterday. He called to tell me about the results from Reeses latest EEG. Reese had to have another one done about a week ago because he started having some seizures again.
BUT - the neuro said the EEG was completely FREE of any seizure activity. He was a little amazed because most children with lissencephaly have some sort of seizure activity on an EEG even if they are not currently experiencing seizures. So that was some very good news and a happy unexpected little birthday surprise. :)

So there Wikipedia!! You can just go suck some rocks!! My little boy is doing great and the best he can, which is good enough! (If any of you have ever read the Wikipedia description and prognosis for Lissencephaly you'll understand this little rant)

Here's to the first year down and many more to come! *cheers*
