Merry Christmas
















Hello everyone-
Since coming back from Sikeston therapy in Nov. we have been hitting the walking hard. He's really progressing in that department. His PT here has done a lot of treadmill walking with him so that he gets that repetitive walking motion.

He also got glasses. I know what your thinking-glasses? I thought he was blind? Well we can tell he doesn't track anything. The deal is that besides his brain damage that is making him not able to see he also is nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other. So even without the brain damage he would need glasses. We decided it was worth a try to get glasses and see if it helps him any. So far there's no major change. But he couldn't tell us even if there was so we are just going off of observation. On a not so fun note of updates-he is having more seizures. Not the big ones but still more. Please continue to pray for those to stop.

Christmas was great. Food, family, and just relaxing. Christian loved to hear the paper tearing off of his presents. We also visited Santa at Silver Dollar City. The santa was great!!! He loved the jingle bell sounds!
Video-One video is of him walking in Sikeston. I was pushing the walker but he was doing all of the leg work. The other is of me helping him walk by himself. He seems to enjoy not being strapped in to anything to walk.
