What a difference a few years can make!  Two years ago I wrote this post.  To say that our lives were turned upside down that day would be an understatement.  To say that we are far better today than we ever dared to dream or imagine, would be too.

We got Abe's results from the MRI of his spine today and they were "normal".  Normal.  Not my favorite word after entering into the world of parenting a child with special needs.  I prefer "typical", but will take normal in this case! :)

While this doesn't change the make-up of his brain, it does mean that we don't have anything new to deal with either.

We were so proud of him.  He was so strong and brave.  We felt anything but as they wheeled him away to be put under for over 2 hours.

It was amazing to see him wake up and smile at us.  Love this kid something fierce.

Thanks for the prayers.  We felt them all day.
