Tomorrow morning, we head back to UAB for Weston’s follow-up EEG to see if the steroids he’s been on for almost three weeks have done what we’ve been praying they would do—stop the spasms.

Looking at this picture, my heart just breaks. 💔 My sweet boy has quite literally been through hell with these medications. His tiny body is swollen, he can’t sleep, he constantly wants a bottle but never seems satisfied, and he’s so incredibly restless—like his own skin is constantly crawling.

As his momma, it’s been so hard to watch him go through this. We know these steroids are powerful, and we know they’re doing what they need to do, but knowing that doesn’t make it any easier to watch your baby struggle.

And even if tomorrow’s EEG shows that the treatment worked, we still have another five weeks of slowly weaning him off the steroids ahead of us. We’re not quite at the finish line yet, but we’re praying that we’re finally headed in the right direction.

So tonight, we’re asking for prayers. 🙏🏼

Please pray that these steroids have done their job. Pray that his EEG shows the progress we’ve been desperately hoping for. Pray that his doctors feel confident in where he is and, most of all, pray that we get to bring our sweet boy home and start putting yet another incredibly difficult chapter behind us.

Weston has fought so hard. Now we’re praying that his little body can finally get some peace. 🤍

Well, Weston apparently wasn’t quite satisfied with his spennanight in Mobile, so we made a trip to Children’s of Alabama for more answers. 💙

After getting home from Mobile, Weston’s spasms were getting worse. He was increasingly fussy, and that little gut feeling that every Momma knows just kept telling me that something wasn’t right.

Thanks to a wonderful NP friend Mandi Mathews Slone who loves my boy and encouraged us to seek a second opinion, we made the decision to take Weston to Children’s. And honestly, it has already made a night-and-day difference.

Unfortunately, the treatment regimen Weston was started on in Mobile was not the appropriate treatment for what his EEG was showing. We now know that Weston is having infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia, a severe form of abnormal brain activity associated with infantile epilepsy that can affect brain development if it isn’t treated quickly and effectively.

Today, we finally feel like we have a plan.

After seeing several of Weston’s spasms themselves and reviewing his EEG, the neurology team here at Children’s is very confident in the treatment they’ve chosen. Weston has started the most highly recommended and effective first-line treatment for his type of spasms: high-dose steroids for the next couple of weeks, followed by another EEG to see how his brain is responding. From there, we’ll begin a slow taper over several weeks.

It’s scary. It’s overwhelming. And as his Momma, I wish more than anything that we could take this away from him. But we finally feel like we’re headed in the right direction, and that is such a huge relief.

Praise God for friends who love my boy like he’s their own. For doctors who listen, look deeper, and take the time to be thorough. For family who drops everything the second we need them. And for every single person who has prayed for Weston, checked on us, loved on him, or simply kept his name in your heart.

This little boy is SO loved. 🫶🏼

We are incredibly grateful for every prayer. Please keep them coming as we fight this head-on. We have a long road ahead, but we’re not walking it alone. 💙

Well guys, when Weston Thomas does something, he does it BIG! 😅💙

This definitely isn’t the 10-month update I was hoping to give you, but I promise it has a very happy ending. 🫶🏼

Sunday morning, Weston was having breakfast when he suddenly started having what looked like seizure activity. We immediately packed up and headed to the ER at USA Women’s & Children’s because this had never happened before.

Thankfully, I was able to catch a video of his movements while they were happening. That video ended up being incredibly important for the doctors as they tried to figure out exactly what was going on.

Weston was admitted and placed on a 24-hour EEG so they could watch his brain waves and determine whether he was actually having seizures or if something else was causing the movements.

Unfortunately, the EEG confirmed that he was having seizures—specifically a type of epilepsy called infantile spasms.

Those were the quick, jerky movements we noticed during breakfast. But what we didn’t realize was that Weston was also having other seizure activity throughout the day and night that we weren’t seeing.

The neurologists believe we caught this VERY early, which is such a blessing. 🙏🏼

Weston was started on Keppra, and after just ONE dose, the spasms stopped. 🥹 We’re now adding another daily medication to help keep his seizures under control, but seeing such a noticeable difference in him after just one day was an absolute eye-opener.

And here’s the part that really gets me…

Over the last several weeks, Weston had started losing skills he had already learned. He stopped clapping as much, smiling as much, rolling over, mimicking us, and doing some of the other little things that had become part of who he was. As his mama, I knew something wasn’t right, and it scared me.

It turns out that regression can be a sign of infantile spasms.

BUT—there is HOPE. ❤️

As we get his seizures under control and his brain gets the chance to heal and develop, there is a very real possibility that he can regain those skills.

And we are already seeing it.

While this certainly wasn’t the 33rd birthday I had planned, I got to see Weston SMILE and CLAP for the first time in weeks. 🥹😭

And honestly? That was the best birthday gift I could have ever received.

My baby is still fighting. And so are we. 💙

PRAISE GOD for early detection, incredible doctors, medication that is already working, and the sweetest little boy who continues to show us just how strong he is. 🙌🏼

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for Weston, checked on us, loved on us, and continues to walk this journey with our family. We have felt every single prayer. 🫶🏼

Here’s to 10.5 months, a whole lot of unexpected plot twists, and hopefully MANY more smiles and claps to come. 💙

This boy lights up every room! He’s so happy, so chill, just wants to talk, play, snuggle and laugh! Once he’s mobile there will be no stopping him!
We go in a couple of weeks back to the cardiologist and hopefully can come off or decrease some of the heart and fluid medications. He also has a P*P follow up next week because this guy was hiding a double ear infection from us!

Overall he’s the biggest blessing and the littlest warrior 🫶🏼
