Catching you up with Miracles and Celebrations

Yes, I know... there wasn't a blog yesterday, and I apologize.  I know so many of you faithfully read this blog to keep updated on our sweet little Connor and to know what should be in your prayers as the sun rises and the sun sets every day. We know those prayers have been heard!  The last few days we have celebrated...and I mean CELEBRATED!!!!  The Dr.s have said in the previous days that he may not wake up for weeks, his left side may not move again, etc. etc. etc. ...  and Connor has proved them wrong time after time... and all this proving wrong has happened in only 11 days! What a boy he is... a sweet, strong,  little boy with a beautiful smile at that! Every day we get a little piece of him back... soon...we know...he will be that little Connor from 12 days ago.

Let's play catch up!


Day #9

Wednesday afternoon:  Connor was taken to physical therapy for the first time today and fitted with a brace for his left leg...and dinosaurs it was!  Connor also got to take a trip out of his room where had some fun playing bingo and won 2 toys!

Day #10

Thursday:  Another big day for Connor in therapy.  He got to wear his new dinosaur brace which is for his left leg today.  Therapy is hard for Connor but he is pushing his way through it because he wants to get better.  In therapy they worked on sitting, using his walker, and pushing up with his left side.  The therapist was very pleased with what Connor could do and what a strong willed little boy he is.  She is hoping that by 8 weeks Connor will walk on his own and walking well.

Connor received Mrs. Fields cookies on this day... which of course... he loved.  The speech therapist likes how they are soft and they help in evaluating his chewing and drinking habits... and you know what...that is mighty fine with little Mr. Connor! Cookies are YUMMO!



As you can hear and see....therapy is not an easy thing for Connor...but he is doing it... and doing it well!


Today is Day #11

Friday:  What a proud day for us all!  Connor is moving his left side and we CELEBRATE!!!!  What a strong boy!  After therapy he walked down the hallway...with help from his walker... and he was moving his left leg on his own... We CELEBRATE!  Last week on this day Connor woke up... This week on the same day...he walks!  We CELEBRATE!
