Exploring Rocketry!

11 days seizure free!  Still doing amazing.  We meet with Dr. O'Neill (Superman) on Thursday for a check-up and biopsy results.  We will then meet on Nov 25 with the neurology team supporting Erica.  We will see what the next steps are for Erica and when we can start to wean her off medication.

In the meantime, we've kept busy this weekend exploring rocketry.  Erica has joined a rocketry team at her school.  They have not started meeting yet, but the rocketry mentor at Erica's school, Mr. Howe (assistant principal) invited us to attend a rocket launch event today.  He and several other Preston students and parents attended and spent the day launching rockets.  This was Erica and Sam's first exposure to rocketry.  Within 5 minutes they were hooked!  Sam was one of the best rocket retrievers at the event.  We were also very happy to celebrate Mr. Howe's successful launch to earn him his Level 2 rocketry certification.  So much fun and learning today!
