This holiday season is a little different than last year for me. I am sitting here looking at my cute little 4 ft tree that I put in our family room this year. Its perfect for our little room and Thomas has enjoyed taking the ornaments off, unplugging the lights and he even took the star off the top today by climbing on top of a chair. Pure craziness, but I love it!! I am so happy that my baby can climb on the chair and can reach the star and that he loves the lights. He is so excited about Christmas this year and keeps talking about Santa coming and bringing him a bicycle. We actually took him to Toys R Us and had him 'test drive' a 12" bike. I wanted to see if his feet would reach the pedals. He is actually still 2 inches too short according the specifications on the bike, but it didn't stop my little powerhouse. He was able to get those pedals going and drove all over that store. It was amazing to see him try to pedal that bike and the people would just stop in the aisles and smile as they watched him. There really is something about that little boy that can't be explained but only experienced. I am so grateful for where we are right now.
Last year at this time I had just started this blog. I didn't know what the coming months would bring the diagnoses we would get and the hours of therapy we would conquer. But here we are! We did it! I say we because I really couldn't have done it without you. Your prayers and support were always with me and were felt.
Thomas is really doing good. We are doing PT weekly which is a lot of hard work on him but he is a great worker. Waiting on insurance and CHOA to work out covering feeding therapy and Endocrinologists referral. Thomas did get sick over Thanksgiving break and was put on steroids and breathing treatments. Seems to be the norm for him when he gets sick, he always gets the croup. It is pitiful but at least we know what we need to do to get him well. He is now doing good and hopefully be rid of the cough for good in the next couple of days.
Thank you for loving my little man and our family. Our prayers are with you this holiday season, may you feel blessed and loved right where you are, just as you are.

Psalm 28:7 (NIV)
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him. |
