We missed it...

...the big appointment of the year and we missed it! Hunter's 12 month eval with the pediatric surgeon was on Monday and we just weren't able to make it. We've rescheduled for March 31st so I will definitely keep you posted on what the end of this year brings! :) Pray, warriors, pray!

This will be a very short and to the point post tonight. I'm very tired and we have our big Easter service in just a few hours!

Therapy has been going well the last couple of weeks. Great progress is being made with Hunter's arm. He is FINALLY bearing a bit of weight on it...yay! Although it is close fisted rather than open handed we'll take anything we can get right now. His "commando crawl" has turned into something altogether different and very hard to explain. I might liken it to the crawl of a monkey moving around on his nuckles but it's a little different than that. I'll have to post a pic of it.

Hunter's leg, on the other hand, has a mind of it's own! This was the first time Ms. Jennifer really got to see Hunter walk. She weighed down a push toy and watched him as he tottled along...he is pushing his right foot out kind of like a fin pushing water away. It's very odd and I've never seen it before. It seems to be coming from the knee and concerns her enough to refer us to the orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation. We don't know if this will be another "let's watch it and see" kinda thing or a "let's do something about this now" situation. Either way, pray for God's will and wisdom as we make any decisions necessary. The earliest available appt was for April 24th...lots of time to hit our knees on this one!

The b-day party was great! He took to the cake like a natural born sweet tooth! lol. I've posted pictures below for you to enjoy. I'm sure you've figured out that the goofy people at the end are Dad, Me & big brother Kowen.

I'm going to close now...thank you all for you prayers and continued encouragement! It does mean more than you know...even when the sun is shining on the situation.

Blessings on a beautiful Easter holiday! HE LIVES! :)
