Sensory vest and updates

Jace is trying on his Gap vest that I'm putting weights inside for a sensory weighted vest. The "official" ones are ugly and super expensive. So we're making our own, and it'll be finished within a couple days. Normally the therapists wouldn't suggest such a thing for a child Jace's age... you'd wait until they are around 5yrs old. But since Jace is such a major sensory seeker, they are whole heartedly suggesting it NOW. :)
We hope to have more info about Aidan soon. A bunch of blood and urine work has to be done, and we should have that results in a couple weeks.
Damon is starting his own testing. I expressed my concern over what appears to be seizures. After describing them to the pediatrician he has ordered an EEG for him, and given me a referral for a neurologist. He's concerned that he's not only having seizures already, but at his age, and the fact they are myoclonic, he's really concerned it's what is commonly called "Infantile Spasms." These can be very devastating. But the earlier they are caught, the better. I'll keep updates posted.

Does he have sensory processing disorder? Danica does- it's always a joy with socks and tags etc. I have read on the vest, is it working?
