Same old same old.



Hi everyone. I am basically just posting because I realized it has been a really long time since I posted. Jackson is doing wonderfully. There are no medical issues as of late. He is walking everywhere and runs after the dogs. He is working on his vocabulary. He says dog, momma, da (for daddy), du (for duck) ba (for bailey). He is also trying to say yuck. He thinks yuck and grapes are the funniest words ever. His therapist say that due to the long intubation he does not use the back muscles of his cheeks and mouth very well, so he is having difficulty with certain sounds like ls, gs, and ck sounds. This is also what we think is keeping him from swallowing. He loves to chew food, but after he has chewed it for a while he takes it out of his mouth and throws it on the floor. All in all I will take this. He is at least trying, and his therapist are wonderful and I think we are making great strides forward. That is really all for now. We will be going to Houston for the reunion in September and we can not wait to see all of our friends there.
Love
Kimberly, Adam and Jackson
