Ivan Update...

I haven't really given many updates on Ivan since the post on vaccines & that whole situation. He is doing GREAT! He is a full time walker/runner, we were "discharged" by his physical therapist in June b/c he is doing so well. He is eating a much wider variety of foods, such as spaghettios, almost any fruit there is, & veggies. His favorites are peas & kiwi, oh yeah, & every junk food ever made! He stears clear of meat, in any form, but I'm happy with what he is eating. His weight is much better now too, he has gone from less than 5% (off the chart), to 8%, which is ON the chart!!! His speech skils are better, although I can't understand most of his jibberish, I'm really happy to hear it as often as I do. He has added a few more words that are understandable to his vocabulary as well.

He's a typical little boy running from one place to another, picking up disgusting things & tasting them, & throwing fits when it's time to come inside. If he gets hurt, from scraping a knee to barely scratching his finger, he knows to look mom in the eyes & act like it's the end of the world. He knows I will pick him up & cradle him, kissing him all over. He is very smart b/c if Kendall was home instead of me, he would just get up & keep going if hurt. He plays his cards right...

I can't thank God enough for the miracles he has done in my life, & that he is still doing. Ivan, as well as Juliana, are such a blessings, they are the sunshine in my everyday life. I can't help but smile or laugh at them throughout the day. Don't get me wrong, they can make me aggrevated & crazy, but at the end of the day I smile. I have to thank God everyday for giving me the family I have & for keeping us safe, as in sparing us from the tragedies that could have happend had we not depended on Him. I have been living on these words for about 7 years now & hope they will encourage anyone who read this: GOD MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE!
