A Bee Can't Fly



Good Morning All!

Jonathan and I are having a great time and meeting lots of parents and kiddos. Yesterday, we participated in a parent's round table. There were many a tears shed, but it was one of most uplifting activities thus far. It was an open and honest discussion among parents who truly know what we are going through.

One story that will truly stick with us is this:

Science says the bumblebee can't fly. Those little, fragile wings can not hold up
that big, fat body. But God says that bumblebees can fly and so the bumblebee flys.

In spite of what doctors and others say Jackson and children like him can't do, they do and prove all of them wrong. Meanwhile astonishing all of us!

Jackson seems to really be enjoying his time here as well, he's even meet a pretty cute girlfriend--her name is Natalee. (we will post pics when her mommy sends them, Jackson's mommy forgot to take her camera on their first date!) And guess what she's an older lady; that's right, she is almost 1!

We have learned a lot of valuable information to bring back to all of you and our medical team. Today, we have more workshops, which I am sure will be just as uplifting. We can't wait to see what today holds...


XO,

JJD
