CHOC PT Eval Update
So, Justin’s behind a few months (he’s in the 4-6 month range) in his physical skills, but that’s to be expected since he’s been in the hospital for almost half his life.
Life really does go on, though. With Nathan, I was really obsessed with every milestone. I made sure to track his abilities month to month on Baby Center. It just so happened that Nathan surpassed every milestone (except the walking one. His feet didn’t even touch the ground until he was 13 months old) early for his age group. He’s like a little man…sometimes, I forget he’s only 2.5 years old.
Justin still has so much room to grow that I’m not truly concerned. And, having seen him almost on his deathbed makes me appreciate how vibrant and alive he is smiling and kicking. With all the atrocities his little body has been through, I’m proud (and still in disbelief) that he’s come this far. Oh, and the fact that he’s such an inspiration–to me especially–just makes me beam with pride.
Here’s to another beautiful day with my two little boys.

Great attitude! I love it! He will get “there” in his own time, and it’s good that you can be patient with that. We’ve really had to learn the true meaning of patience as well.
Where in Southern CA do you live? Ok, I am calling you next time we’re over there so we can stroll the PCH! UUGhghghghgh, I could only dream right now!
