Catching up...

Well the past two weeks have flown by. I will try to update all that is going on without writing a small book.
We took Link to the pediatrician. Nothing huge to report. He weighs about 41 pounds. He is so much smaller than we thought. Poor boys clothes fall off of him, so it will be MUCH smaller sizes for fall and winter clothes shopping. He does eat well, so I am hoping he will gain quickly. We are all scheduled for blood work, and working on his neurological exam appointment to be set up soon. His pediatrician does think he has CP, although she thinks it is mild. She says his prognosis should be great, which is good news.
We also celebrated his birthday, which is bitter sweet to me, because it is estimated. I really wish we knew the exact date, or even if it is remotely close, but there is nothing that I can do about that, so we celebrate that date anyway.....after all it's the date that lead him to us, so it is special. We did not have a big celebration, but we did have cake and a few toys. I am not sure if he fully understood that it was his birthday. We had fun though, and he sure enjoyed his presents.

















We have been spending this time getting to know each other, which has involved many smiles, and many tears. Ah, brothers and sisters!









The weather has been so nice, we have spent a ton of time outside. Link finally learned to ride the power wheels. I thought I may have a heart attack and a few mental breakdowns, but luckily he learned with no injury and loves riding his new wheels.






Then he got sick. Really sick. But he is starting to feel better now. Unfortunately now Lilly has it. Okay virus, you can leave now. We have more fun to be had.
Thanks for all of the prayers! He continues to do amazing!
