Owen

Hi Everybody:
Mom told me a few weeks ago to put an update on Owen on here but I was waiting for today to be done before I did that. We have had an exciting couple of months with him. The end of June he graduated from physical therapy after almost a year of going once or twice weekly and he started walking about that time too (or should I say running??). Today we went to Gillette for his 6 month check up with the orthopedic doctor and his follow up with the neurologist. He impressed his doctors a lot with where he has come the past few months so we graduated from there too. They have no answers for why he was the way he was or why he came as far as he did. We of course know the answer to that: MANY, MANY ANSWERED PRAYERS but that all to often isn't in the medical dictionary as a treatment plan. He does have a small pineal cyst on his brain however the doctor is not concerned about that and gave Kevin and I some things to look for in case it ever becomes an issue. He should hopefully be done with his 2nd helmet on September 28 which means I will be celebrating with lots of margaritas.

Thanks for all of the prayers and concerns--it was an awesome feeling to know we had so much support from family.

p.s. One day when I get caught up--hopefully in the very near future I will post some pictures of the Bug and his brother.
