School's Cool--NOT!


Well...the fall semester is off to a busy start! My semester is crammed with never-ending homework, projects, and assignments...not to mention impossible tests. How much longer 'till christmas again??? Only 8 more months until I get my RN (whew..dont know if I can take much more!)

Well, enough about me. The important person to remember here is the precious angel I have failed to mention lately in my posts--CADEN! Caden is doing just wonderful! He started full days of school this fall at Reagan elementary...and is loving it. He is pooped by the time I drop by the school to get him...and falls asleep in about 10 seconds once he has his bottle at home. Now that I am getting him a little earlier in the day, he is able to nap before therapy which helps his energy level when we strap him up to walk. His walking is much improved and we even tried something new this week--a TRICYCLE! It is a special tricycle with head support and petals we can strap his feet to so that he can ride the day away! He didn't know what to think of it at first...but after a little help...he realized he was pushing himself around and LOVED the idea! He kept motioning and saying "more, more!"

More good news-- Caden has been approved for a Make-A-Wish trip. Of course, we all know what this means...his condition is fatal. But lets not get too hasty!!! He did jet past his life expectancy at the age of 2...and I have full faith that he will live much much longer than anyone can estimate. He is the most amazing, miraculous, and precious little boy on this planet...and I wouldn't trade watching him for anything in the world! He is the true meaning of a miracle. Jeez, I am so blessed to have him in my life! I don't deserve him!


More to come soon! Hope you guys are having a great week!


Peace and love,

Kens
