a little update

Things are still going well. Jude is adjusting and loving his new wheelchair and we are working on getting a van to house it. He got new AFO'S yesterday which is wonderful. They support his feet and keep them straight vs curling under due lack of use. Jude is still have asence seizures. It makes me wonder how long he was having these before we caught them. I thought his seizures had been decreasing, but it looks like they just took on a different hard to detect form. However, he is still very happy. He is also having great "reactions" to certain people and items. He gets excited when he hears people he knows and he literally squeals every time I read him "Good Night Gorilla".

Emily is as busy as ever, but doing well. I am hoping to let her participate in a little pageant near our house in September to see how she does with her own hair/make up and her modeling prior to Miss Texas Teen USA. We also have her annual Smile Box party set for October. We will be putting together 350 boxes to benefit the DFW Pediatric hospitals.
