Update from Jackson's Journal

[ohsweetlaughter]

Hello all, sorry it's been a while since my previous update. I kept thinking, "Oh, I'll wait until after _______ appointment, then I'll update with that info." But things kept coming up so I kept putting it off... needless to say it's been a busy few weeks

I love the pictures, especially the one at the beach... he just looks like he's having a blast!! It sounds like he's making beautiful progress and I hope you know that a big reason for that is he's surrounded by parents who cherish every minute with him.

Aww, thanks! :) It's funny, during the speech and communication evaluation I got teary because the therapists were telling me what a good job I was doing. I'm so emotional about it.

It was so good to hear from you and get such a great update! It sounds like Jackson is doing extremely well...I'm so happy to hear that.

I'm glad the speech evaluation went so well and I'm sure the other evaluation will go well if they come back at the same time of day that the speech therapists came. Hey..Justin is a complete bear after his nap too. He doesn't want anyone looking at him or even talking to him.

The BigMac talking switch is wonderful. I'm just so happy that you guys are finding ways to help him communicate and it's obvious in his pics that he's having a grand ole time at the beach and the zoo.

The progress you noted in his grasp and hand/arm movement is just amazing. It brought tears to my eyes. He is just one remarkable kid D'Anne and his smile is equally amazing.

I think of you guys often and I pray for continued improvements and great news. Give that sweet little man a big kiss for me.

Thanks, Trace :). I wish you could be here to see the progress... it's not always noticeable because we see him every day, but once we look back at how far he's come, well, it's really incredible. I should try that clipshack thing so you can all get a better idea of what he's doing.
