Hi there folks!  Firstly, thanks to those that have found our website and made contact with us!  It's been great to hear from your all, and also to meet up with some other parents and relatives looking for information.

Beth had her second round of immunisations a little while ago now, and did have a little bit of a reaction to them.  We decided to give some panadol to her beforehand, as last time she had a bit of a temperature and high temperatures/fevers are something that is associated with triggering seizures.  She was a grumpy little girl for a few days there, not her usual self, and one of the injection sites on her leg came up with a nasty red lump that took a couple of weeks to go away.  Thankfully, she's all back to normal now.

We also visited the paediatrician again, he checked her over and was happy with her progress overall.  The problem is that it is difficult to understand just how well she is doing because the expectation is the she won't do well... which is a little annoying. Really brings home something we've heard now a number of times, that as parents, we will become the ones that understand Beths' progress and abilities the best; Doctors look at the condition and may not expect much progress and in some cases "give up" and not even encourage it, on the basis of they don't want to raise false hopes.  We are of a different mind set though - we are going to hope and pray and encourage Beth in every way, and we just know she will surprise us all more than we think!
