Looking back at how far he's come...


I was going through old pictures and I found these of Gerrit


These were taken August 31st, 2002. Gerrit was almost 7 months old and about a week away form being diagnosed with his stroke. He was having seizures at this point and we didn't know what to do to help him.


These were taken on Oct. 31st, 2002. This is what A.C.T.H. can do to a baby in a matter of weeks. He was on the steroid shots twice a day for over 5 weeks to try and stop the seizures. Poor little guy gained 1/3 of his body weight in three weeks!

Don't know if you saw the head comparison in the two photos. Caleb, our sweet friend had a big head and you can see that Gerrit's head is bigger then Caleb's in the second photos.
