It has been so long, and I am not even sure that anyone will read this note! Just thought I would stop in and write a quick up date. Time away means that we are busy with somewhat "normal" everyday life and blogging is the farthest thing from my mind. My neglect of this blog means that others miss out on some of the amazing things that we get to see everyday. The things that we get to witness on our front row seats of God's work. Just last night was one of those moments as I was putting Zac to bed he said "I am glad that God made toes for us to wiggle." I quickly agreed, and said we do need to be thankful for our toes, not everyone has them. Zac wanted to pray right then and there to thank God for his toes, he also prayed for those who do not have toes that God would give them toes! Zac has no idea how close he could have been to not having those toes! It was an overwhelming moment for us, we are thankful once again for leading us to Drs. who would be so skilled in preserving Zac's legs and toes! Thank God for toes!!!
I wanted to shout from the roof top a few months ago as Zac starting taking his first steps and in the past few months walking and now almost running, and even dancing on his feet. Not sure why I did not post then, just busy I guess. The walking has taken sometime, but I can surely say, Zac is now walking, and we give praise to God for this miracle!!! I will post video soon.
We had a return visit to Dr. Paley right in the beginning of the walking. We thought that surgery would be scheduled for Zac's right ankle at that visit. The decision was made to wait, and we will not return to Dr. Paley for a year. This decision was based on the fact that Zac uses that turned ankle to get up and stand. Moving the position of his foot may be a mistake and work against his mobility at this time. We have taken this as direction for now, a year may give us different answers, but as for now there will not be any surgeries this year.
Big brother Cai has turned 7 yrs. He is an amazing big brother, who is sensitive and loving, yet strong in his own right. We are so proud of him. Zac will be turning 5 this month, and will enter Kindergarden this fall. Time is going by so quickly! It is great to be on this side of some very challenging events in our lives and to be able to look back and see how God, many caring people, and lots of prayers have seen us to this point. God is good!
