The past few months have been a whirlwind, hence my lack of posting and picture updating. Jackson is progressing so well, that I can't tear myself away from him to post because I want to see what he will discover next. Recent accomplishments includ rolling over on to both sides and onto his belly. And sitting UNASSISTED! (FYI: he's not crying because he is sitting but instead because he wants the toy in front of him). When he rolls over on his stomach, Jackson is trying to "push" off and crawl on his belly. I think it won't be long until he gets it!
On the medical front when we saw Dr. Accousti last week, he gave us the approval to make Jackson wear his braces only at night. This is amazing and very positive news, it means our feet are not regressing, which can be the case with AMC kids. We do still have some hypotonia in the legs and will be ordering hip helpers to hopefully assist in correcting this. And the most exciting news---we are getting a stander! Here is what it will look like: http://www.alimed.com/ProductDetail.asp?style=82040&fprd=EasyStand%26trade%3B+7000+Magician%2Aei&oid1=&oid2=
The stander and our new AFOs (ankle feet orthotics) should be here in the next couple of weeks and let me tell you this boy is ready to stand!
And to top it all off this weekend, Jackson said his first word and it was...MAMA!!!! I can't tell you how excited I was!
Keep us in your prayers as we await our equipment and next month's trip to see the hand doctor and geneticist at Shriners.
All our love,
Doris, Jonathan and Jackson
