Finally an update

Oh my God, I really haven’t posted forever. But then again, sometimes no new is good news if you know what I mean.

This week, Jake is in Michigan attending 3 weeks of intensive suit therapy. This is week 3. I came back home last night because I have to work this week, my husband is with Jake by himself, which is something he has never done before. I am sure he will forget something here and there, but you know what, he needs the practice!!

The Make A Wish Foundation called and told us that they have approved Jake’s and our wish to have the entire suit therapy exercise equipment unit. We are very excited and grateful for this generous gift. The therapist in Michigan believes Jake has the potential to be an independent walker (with lots and lots of work), which gives us hope that with hard work, persistence, and faith that Jake will reach that huge milestone – walking independently. And to be honest, I can’t carry him anymore, he weights about 45lbs.

Another exciting news is that my husband and I will finally go on a vacation next month while Jake stays with my mom. His respite worker will come everyday to give my mom some break. Wow, we haven’t been on vacation forever! My husband is planning the whole trip, from the hotels, to the locations, everything. I don't know where I am going or what I am going to see. I said just surprise me...just take me somewhere, anywhere... :-)
