Giggles and fun

Jackson and his magical hot dog are doing well (hope most of you read the post before this one to explain the hot dog.) :) We are adjusting into a routine, or as routine as our lives can get. Therapy's are going great! It is amazing to see the differences in Jax post surgery.. ex. he is going more days than before without a nap, more engaged in what is going on around him, expanding his vocabulary, has this sudden elephant like appetite and just genuienly fantastic. AND Bob has become his right hand hand, bob wants to participate in eating, drinking, brushing teeth, school activities, etc. So proud of him or should I say them?!

Jax has made the decision that walking into school with adult supervision is no longer cool. As soon as we walk in the front doors he immediately pushes my hand away, goes about his way and says "Bye Mom".  So independent!  .. He wants to start drinking out of a big boy cup w/o a straw so his speech therapist set up a swallow study (he wasn't cleared last time for thin liquids from open cup). Hope this time is different!

He has a follow-up appt. with Dr. Handler next week and rehab doc the following month.  Keeping positive thoughts for both appt.'s!

Happy Valentines Day Team Jax! We appreciate and love you all.
