I feel inspired this afternoon to write a blog about the many blessings we've received lately as we prepare for Jameson's upcoming 2nd birthday party. Yes, Jameson turned 2 years old back in May but since he was in a bad place medically we decided to postpone the party until he was feeling better. 4 months later and what an amazing change he's had! His new seizure med, Onfi, has been a beacon of hope for us. I say that with a disclaimer as we known Jameson's type of epilepsy is complicated and always trying to find its way around his medications. However, I'm pleased that for the time being we have a happy little boy that is sleeping better and playing with toys independently and on a consistent basis.
Its funny the things that you will become grateful and excited for when you're in a situation like ours. I made the decision this month that I'm ready to start the process of getting Jameson's first wheelchair. May not sound like something you'd be excited for your child to get but for me it will be like Christmas morning when its ready. Jameson is going to be 2 1/2 years old and he doesn't deserve to sit in an infant stroller anymore. He's a big boy that has been through so much in his life and he deserves to sit up and see the world like any other 2 year old would. I can't wait to see him explore the world in his chair...supported and comfortable and at the same eye level as any other child his age.
Speaking of blessings, I cannot express enough my excitement for Jameson's upcoming birthday party. We'll have about 50-60 people coming to celebrate the little man and his awesomeness! The weather is supposed to be beautiful and of course, there will be lots of pictures! Can't wait to post them!! :-)
Give Jameson a kiss and hug for me, Allie. Best wishes to you all ;)
