He's Walking, Yes Indeed!

Tomorrow it will be two weeks since Elijah started walking and it is still amazing to see him round a corner or enter a room up on his feet. The change in him has been wonderful.....he chatters a lot more and now with a new found independence he is never without a smile on his face.

Kelly, our occupational therapist, was so pleased with his progress and I can't wait for her to come tomorrow to see how much walking he is doing since her last visit. Kelly and I discussed what course we should take now that Elijah is officially a 'walker' and we decided it was time to transition Eli to a physical therapist. I know that this a wonderful news and is the best for Eli's continued therapy but we will really miss Kelly. She has been just fantastic and a wonderful guide for myself, Brian and especially the boys. So basically what will happen is Elijah will be re-evaluated and then a physical therapist will be assigned to us....provided that the evaluation shows the need to continue on. Kelly will remain on Eli's case until the whole process is finished.

Thank you to everyone for your support and patience. Parenthood, as most of you know, is a crazy journey with many bumps in the road but with those bumps also comes smooth travels and we are happy to have finally hit some smooth road. Having such great family and friends around us makes the trip that much sweeter. Now we enter a world of two young boys running everywhere...........
