Porter Update!

I just wanted to take a quick minute and update everyone on the situation with Porter. We were able to find out what has been causing all the shaking and it turns out it is another type of seizures. We don't know much yet how we will treat them we are still working on increasing his medications and we are trying a couple new approaches to help out and we hope to see some progress soon. He has gone through another period of regression and has lost some skills he has recently gained which is discouraging but like always with that we will keep working and trying to help him move forward. I have to say a very BIG Thanks to all of the prayers on our behalf as well as the many people who put our names in the temple. We have been blessed tremendously with added strength to get through all this and we have been blessed with answers. So again thanks! 

In other updated news I finally have gained a pound in my pregnancy so I am no longer in trouble with the doctor. Yeah no more weight loss!  Also I am measuring closer to my due date so it looks like the baby is gaining weight as well. They have started me on some medications that they give you in the hospital to stop your labor and so we are hoping that we keep from extra trips to stop my never ending contractions as well. Our goal is to get me to 34 weeks but really hoping for 36 so that is the plan and I am taking it as easy as possible. We hired an awesome girl Wendy who has been wonderful to help with Porter's therapy and that has helped lighten my load as well. So again thanks for the prayers we really feel them. I will post some pictures from San Francisco, we had the best time. Hope all is well with all of you.

Season,
I am really happy you all found out what was wrong with Porter. You are such a strong person. I know he was placed in your home because Heavenly Father knew you had the patience and love for a child with special needs. You are truly an inspiration to me.
