Early Intervention

The occupational therapist from early intervention came today to evaluate Emmett. He did such a great job and was having fun with everything. When the therapist walked in Emmett said: "Here to help Emmett walk?" The OT said for walking he is at a 12-18 month age range, but everything else he is right where he needs to be.

Weird Episodes

Emmett's been having some episodes that he would space out into space, breath heavily and his heart rate goes up between 120-130. We've talked with cardiology about it and since he's done this before and it is not his heart, our cardiologist referred us to neurology. Today we met with the neurologist, he said that it's a 50/50% chance that if it's a seizure it would be a Complex Partial Seizure. Also the reason he is not walking is that it's neurological. We go back March 11th for an EEG. If it's a seizure they will treat it with a medication. We have physical therapy coming to work with him to help with his walking. Please keep Emmett in your prayers. Thanks!
