We've been going to a weekly chess club at the library, and Connor has learned how to play. He can even beat me; I'm not much of a strategic chess player. He asked for a chess set for Christmas, and after much searching, we found a Pirates of the Caribbean chess set. It's really cool because the pieces are modeled after characters from the movie. One side is the good guys, with Captain Jack Sparrow as the king piece and Elizabeth Swann as the queen piece. The other side is the bad guys, with Lord Cutler Becket as the king piece and Davy Jones as the queen piece. It's just as fun as Dylan's Harry Potter chess set.

Speaking of Dylan, here's the update on his EEG last week:
The EEG still shows abnormal brain activity, though less than last year's EEG. This abnormal activity is mainly on the left side of his brain, but sometimes includes the right side, too.

He hasn't had any daytime seizures for 20 months, but he still has occasional nighttime episodes of distorted vision, which his neurologist believes are seizures. Since the goal is to have a completely normal EEG and no seizures, she increased the dose of his medication again. Other than that, we're kind of in a holding pattern. He's doing very well otherwise, so we just keep chugging along.
