Well, unfortunately the success of the Botox did not work after that 1st week. In fact, it worked so not well that Joelle had a migraine for 5 weeks. And most of that time she spent unable to get even out of bed. Last week was the absolute worst week of it. She was pretty much unable to take any escape meds, and when she did, she ended up with a horrific rebound migraine. Everyone was very very worried, and it seemed like Joelle would just never get better. Around  Saturday it broke some, so she got some relief. However, it is still building back up this week. Hate to sound like a downer on here, but it's just what is going on right now. We are still praying for her healing, and know that some day God will restore to us what her migraines have taken.

Little B is doing so well! Two weeks ago he had a double ear infection which slowed him down some, but he seems to be back to his old self now. He is starting to scoot everywhere, and loves to play in his walker. He says lots and lots of sounds...like DADA and BABA and YAYA. Jeremiah is eagerly looking forward to when DADA is actually associated with him :) He still isn't sitting up yet, but he sure does try very hard! If we sit him up ourselves he can hold steady for about 30 seconds. He is eating 2nd stage foods, and is NOT fond of meat. We have to hid it in his fruit and vegetables to disguise it. He loves his fruit and veggies tho!

Jeremiah's work schedule is finally starting to make some sense. He is getting home at reasonable hours, and actually getting to spend time with Joelle and Benjamin. Cooler temps always mean less bugs, so that makes everyone involved happy. :)

In other family news, Joelle is enjoying her Sunday night Bible study, and Jeremiah enjoys his on Tuesday nights. (Betcha were waiting for a special announcement, huh? Well, not yet). :) We are doing our best to keep understand what it means to be a new little family, and what we are called to be.
