Jaxon has had a pretty good 2 days! He is still tired, weak and dizzy, but you can see the spark back in his eyes :) He started turning around yesterday afternoon, after his nap. He was talking to his brothers lots after school, and even smiling some! Jeremy noticed right away when he got home last night, that he was feeling better....it is just exciting to see, and even hear him talking a little more normal. Last night was such a great night for our family. The boys played some together before supper, and it was fun to hear them talking to each other, and laughing. Then when Jeremy came home (earlier than most nights), we had supper together as a family, which hasn't happened in a long time. Then the boys went down to watch a cartoon before bed. Jeremy had a nice night together watching a movie. It was just a laid back, enjoyable night together, which again hasn't happened in SO long! Weird that a normal night can be so exciting and different for us, but we didn't take it for granted :)
On Monday we did have Jaxon try to go to school, he thought he could try, and we had him use his wheelchair just for saving energy. He made it to about 10:30am, and that was it. He just couldn't do it...said it was especially hard to concentrate on any one thing for too long. Was getting very dizzy and weak, then the headache really started again. He was pretty bummed cause it is no fun to have to miss this much school. He misses his friends!! We decided, that we are not going to push him right now, until we know exactly what is going on with him. We are keeping him home, and have been working on things here in little bits, and he is getting done what he needs to keep up. It is so much easier for him, he works a little, takes a break, naps and works some more. He still is going to bed early, and sleeping lots, but maybe not as much.
Today he had a special treat...his fried Bobby came for a half hour to visit him. They played video games, and just chilled, while his mom and I had coffee. It was a treat for me too, cause his mom Leslie is a good friend of mine :) Bobby had told him mom that he felt bad for Jax, and was sad that he was sick, so she decided to call. That was SO nice of him, Jax has a good friend :)
A better couple of days for the Knick's...Thanks for all the continued prayers and love!
