Sunday

Little buddy got a visit from his great aunts today (Grandma's sisters).  They were excited to see that he is doing such a good job moving his head from side to side, as well as moving his arms and legs around.  He can't yet control his movements very well, but he is getting more and more active all the time.  Phyiscal and Occupational therapy are working hard with him to help his brain remember how to control his movements and get is body to do what he wants it to do.

Even though Little Buddy's body isn't doing what he wants it to, his mind is still as sharp as anything.  He laughs at jokes and the look in his eyes let us know that his mind is still working well. We were very excited when we opened a surprise package from Two Little Hands Productions yesterday.  Somehow they found out about our little boy, and they sent us a wonderful collection of "Signing Time!" DVDs and CDs as a gift to teach Little Buddy (and his mom and dad) American Sign Language, so he can get the words stuck in his head out and communicate with us again.  We can't wait!

I know I say this almost every day, but thank you so much, Everyone, for all you are doing to support and help our family.  Your love, service, gifts, and especially faith and prayers are helping us all in so many ways.  We don't know how we would get through all of this without you!
