Ato T update

Despite all of his physical difficulties, this is the happiest boy I have ever met! Here's where he is at. He can sit on his own for up to 5 minutes at a time - when he wants to. :) He is working on getting into a crawling position, but when he does get into it he gets so excited that he tips over. Its' adorable. We have started chiropractic care for all 3 kids, and are seeing changes in Ato T. He is MUCH more relaxed, especially just after an adjustment. This will allow us to at least put off giving him botox and phenol injections in his legs and hand. Hopefully we won't ever have to, but we'll see how he does. We were hoping the treatments would help with the CSF drainage as well. It does seem to help, but unfortunately I don't think it's quite enough. He is still in a fair amount of pain almost all the time, and is beginning to vomit more because of it. We'll discuss this with his neurosurgeon this week. Ato T LOVES to be outside rolling around in the grass or swinging. He's definitely all boy! Thank you all for your continued prayers. We are continuing to pray that God's will will be done through his life.
