A slight setback

Carter had a slight set back this week.  On Wednesday he woke up and started throwing up and kept throwing up throughout the day.  Probably just a flu bug, but when you can't keep anything down that means you can't keep meds down either, which in Carter's case meant a return of the seizures.  He had been doing so well and and back to his happy, smiley, cheerful self since we got home form the hospital.  Long story short, we ended up in the ER all night getting him rehydrated and administering his meds through an IV.  This worked really well and calmed everything down, however he has had a bad reaction to one of the IV meds they gave him, dilantin, which has left his incredibly weak and floppy--its like having a 34 lb infant!  Its been really frustrating for him to not be able to hold his head up or feed himself, not to mention walking around and playing. So we're staying pretty close to home these days and hoping the dilantin will leave his system with no trace, fingers crossed.
Thanks for your continued love and support!
