So Thankful Today!

Bryson has been feeling so good since he had surgery. That was one sick little boy for a very long time. He is a total wild man now, and I just thought I could barely keep up with him before. Well, let me tell ya something...I didn't know he could be any more active, but he definitely is and I am thanking God for his health and wellness and for his energy. He is singing all the time and squealing and laughing and rolling and scooting all over the place. He is also sleeping much better and eating like a champ. Don't get me wrong, he can still have a terrible two tantrum like the rest of them, but all in all he is one happy little camper!

He's been going on and on about Santa Clause because he knows Christmas is coming soon and I think he might actually sit in Santa's lap this year without crying and get his picture made! Keep your fingers crossed! We've been telling him that Santa is watching him and if he's not being good Santa will take some of his toys back and it actually seems to be working a little. Notice I said a little! Lol! Christmas should be really fun for Bryson this year since he's a little older.

Bryson has been doing great in therapy and his therapist told me that he is ready to start walking in RGO's , which are braces that start at the waist and go all the way down to the ankles. RGO stands for Reciprocated Gaited Orthodics. That means when one leg moves to take a step, the braces make the other leg immediately follow. I will be calling his ortho this week to see about having RGO's fitted and made for Bryson so we can get him walking in them in his physical therapy sessions. I'm very excited and so proud of him! He is so motivated and wants to be upright and mobile. Lord help me when that happens! He will be into everything and will be everywhere! I better start taking energy supplements now so I can be prepared for the exhaustion! Lol!

The spina bifida foundation is well on it's way and you can check out the website that is still under construction at www.warriorfamiliesbeatingspinabifida.org. We are just about ready to file for non-profit status and once that happens, we will be up and running. I am really proud of this organization and I can't wait to start helping other families with spina bifida needs. We have a Facebook page, too, that is packed with useful information on all spina bifida related issues. You can check that out on Facebook at Warrior Families Beating Spina Bifida. We are a Christian based group of moms who are driven by our Heavenly Father and we plan on helping people across the nation.

That's all for now! I can't wait until I can start blogging about Bryson's progress after the stem cell treatments! God bless and have a great week! Happy Monday everybody and always remember Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That verse is what gets me through my day every day!
