Eliza continues to progress well.  She enjoys giving hugs and kisses.  She likes to sit with us and wants us to hold her hand or rub her feet.  She is bringing things to us when we ask for them.  She is initiating communication by bringing her cup to us when she wants more to drink.  She also learned to swim unassisted last summer.  She loves the freedom that comes from being able to float without us holding onto her.  She is a picky eater now.  She has her own ideas about what she wants to eat and will refuse to eat what we feed her sometimes.  She is very much a typical kid!  She is intregrated into First Grade for some activities this year and spends some instruction time in the classroom but mostly is in a special education environment.

She is taking Depakene, an anti seizure medication, and we have seen good seizure control with it.  She also takes Vitamins B12 and B6, Folic Acid, L-Carnitine and L-Glutamine.  We recently added Magnesium and DMG.
