Catching Up



Hard to believe January is almost over already!  I apologize for not updating for awhile but things here have been CRAZY busy.

I wish I could tell you the things I've been doing, but right now it's a secret.  Changes are coming for Kaitlin's Cauze and as soon as I'm allowed, I'll share the news.

One thing I can share with you is that I will be heading to DC in April as part of the Kids Speak Up program:  "Every year over 250 advocates, including Epilepsy Foundation affiliate staff, parents, children, doctors and volunteers come from across the nation to share their story, raise awareness, and discuss the needs of people with epilepsy with members of Congress." (from the epilepsy foundation web site)

Jack has been doing great with his training.  I can't believe he's 10 months old already.  He's learning new tasks and is exceeding our expectations in training.  To date he can: alert to my seizures, retrieve my emergency medicine, retrieve a cell phone, and retrieve a bottle of water.  He is able to recognize a simulated tonic clonic seizure and responds on his own as trained.  He'e learning to recognize a complex partial seizure and respond on his own too.

Looking forward to sharing my news with you in the upcoming months.

Love,
Kaitlin
