We had a fun and exciting weekend celebrating goodview days! We went to a get together Friday evening and watched a bunch of softball. I got to sit in my stroller like a big boy and i loved it! I also got to try sweet potatoes for the first time. I like those! I had my 6 month appointment yesterday. I weighed 13pounds 7ounces. I did not get any of my shots because I was still on prednisone. Yesterday was my last day of that! Thank goodness! Mommy and I made our first trip back to Winneconne for a short trip so she could visit her cousin and see her new babies. Pictures of me loving being a big boy in my stroller, not enjoying tummy time, eating sweet potatoes, how daddy found me in my crib this morning, and finally getting the hang of my bumbo chair!
Have a great week!
Love

Tuesday eeg results
Today we got eeg results. Easton's eeg was completely normal! This is wonderful news! They are going to do another eeg in 7 weeks and if all is still good we will hopefully get to start weaning off meds. We are praying for this. They are going to do an MRI in 8 weeks to check on his brain. Also in the last two weeks Easton's head control has increased dramatically! He has also been having a ton ofsocial smiles! These have been very rewarding. He has been tracking objects very well, and has started to turn to look for voices, besides his mommy's. He had started to vocalize a lot more. We also started rice cereal. He is not sure what to think about that yet. All in all it has been a great week for our family. Included is a picture of cereal, and one of his cheeks!
From thursday august 9th
I am 6 months old today. I am also 26 weeks. Mommy and daddy can't believe i am already this big! I had an eeg today and we are hoping for good news. We will find out on Tuesday. My cheeks are getting bigger every day. Hopefully when i get off this prednisone they will go back to normal size. Not much else new here! Hope everyone has a good rest of the week!

We have had a pretty good week. Mommy is still home with me, and I love it! I love her to hold me and snuggle me, she likes it too! I had a post hospital visit with the pediatrician yesterday and they are happy mommy and daddy are not seeing any spasms. Today i got to start lowering my dose of prednisone. Hopefully everything stats good from here on out. I have enjoyed watching the Olympics this last week also. We had a great visit from the Illinois Gudmundsons last weekend. I also have enjoyed face time with auntie Alissa, auntie Becca, uncle Colton, and Grandma Anita this week. I think the iPad is pretty neat.
Thanks everyone for keeping tabs on me, but I need to eat and go to sleep. I an kind of crabby!
Love,
Easton

Can't believe how time is going so quickly! We have been home from the hospital for a week now. The new medications seem to be working. We are not seeing any spells. The last one we saw was Sunday morning. Mommy added pictures of me grabbing my toes and rolling on my side.

23 Weeks
Well it has been an eventful week. Sorry for the late post. We got admitted to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon because reason was diagnosed with infantile spasms. He had another eeg and got put on some new medications. We got to come home yesterday afternoon. Luckily we were not in the parking ramp with the pipe bomb! Easton had a great night and day today. He has only had one episode in the last 24 hours. We are very hopeful the new medications are working. We appreciate all of the prayers and well wishes as we try to figure all of this out. Pictures below are some from our stay at the hospital!
Thanks again everyone!
Cassie, Joe, and Easton
