June 22, 2009 - Erik keeps us busy!

Hello all! We are definitely busy these days! Erik has lost his two top front teeth in the past 2 weeks! He looks so cute! He also successfully finished his first year of public school. Note that he really seems to be missing it now that he is home for the summer! Erik appears to be getting more alert with each passing day and he is getting stronger too. We can actually hold him at his waist now and he will stand for quite a while like this. He also "catches himself" if he starts to lean too much. This is a BIG step! It is amazing to see how much he has improved. I was just sharing with one of his new nurses how we use to have to hold his head up for him to eat. We don't have to do that anymore! Today we are going to get a small pool for the back deck that he and his siblings will be able to enjoy this summer. We are still praying for Erik to walk and talk soon as well as for his seizures to dissipate for good. God is good and we know this is a small task for Him! Love in Christ, Erik's Family
