Therapy Day

Liam had a long day of therapies. First Bright Start came out to the house to work with him. 

Liam did great. They did a cupcake puzzle, read Brown Bear and looked through a book of different transportation and worked on saying the words. He's a smarty pants. 

After Bright Start we went to the park to meet his physical therapist for PT. Liam worked really hard. He did a lot of upward climbing and downward stepping. A whole hour and a half of intense work for him but he loved every step of it. 

This one used to be tricky for him because it was uneven and wiggled as you walked. He did amazing. 

He climbed the talk rock structure all the way to the too with little help. He is very brave and a risk taker for sure. 

Walking up (or down) used to be such a struggle for him. He had to have you hold both hands and holding the poles was so difficult a few months ago. Now he uses only one hand to walk up. Sometimes two depending. 

It was amazing to see his progress.

A Year Ago Today...

A year ago today, we were sitting in NICU getting ready for another try at excubating Liam. Liam has failed being excubated several times prior to this but we kept faith. We knew that there was a chance he still wouldn't fly but we were prepaired. This was the process, the journey, full of ups and downs.

And today....

Liam spends his days surrounded by those who love him. We never get enough of having him here with us. Even when all the breathing treatments and meds and other needs make me feel exhausted, I look at him and his smile fills my heart with satisfaction and content. His big sister wakes up every morning, goes into his room and tells him 'good morning'. She loves trying to teach him new things and "showing him how to play with his toys".

I also have super GREAT news to announce. Its been exactly..................

  9 WEEKS SINCE LIAMS LAST HOSPITAL STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the longest stent we've ever had him home!!!! Next weeks it'll be 2 1/2 months!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! And thank you everyone who has been praying for our little lamb. We hope that you will continue to keep him in your prayers.

Liam still has his cold but he's doing really good. Our next little journey will be with physical therapy, feeding therapy and OT. He needs alot of prayers and help in these areas.
