Good bye 2011, Hello 2012 !

     Shew, what a year it has been.  Seems like we have been set on crazy fast for the last year....Let's see what has happened....or hasn't....



      Joseph continues to amaze us.  He started therapy through the school when he turned 3.  It has really been great.  He can identify many colors, letters and objects in books.  He is trying to say more things and has started singing some songs....he says "Kinckle, Kinckle" for Twinkle Twinkle and then points to the sky for the stars.  He also sings the " E, I , E, I, OH" for Old Mac Donald.  It's great!!  He has finally learned his first sign..."All done"  and even says it too.  He got an ABC puzzle for Christmas and can with minimal prompting put all the letters in the right spot....


Almost done!



ALL DONE !!!

     He has started eating small amounts of food, no not kidding....But I think he might have an issue with gluten so we are trying to figure it out....

     As far as his medical stand point he is doing really well.  His room air sats continue to be 97-100%.  His breathing is easy and he can pretty much do what ever physically he wants or can do.  Not walking yet but he gets in his walker almost every day, he asks to get in it.... "IN IN IN"  too funny.  We are still waiting for approval for his wheel chair....stupid insurance!! 

     He will turn 4 in about two months and is going to get a very special birthday cake from a group called Icing Smiles.....I can't wait to see his face!!!  We also put in for the Make a Wish Foundation for him.  He has come so far.....This is where we started....



So fragile yet so strong....

And today....


Still the strongest person I know.....
