First Steps

I am so happy to be able to write this update on Luke-Thomas.  We were finally able to get in to see the Neurologist....wonderful news came from this appointment.  He does not think that Luke has Cerebral Palsy.  He believes that most of Luke's delays come from severe neglect in his early years.  What does this mean for Luke, well, it means that with proper therapies, a proper diet and love that can only come from having a family of his own, Luke will flourish.  I am thrilled to say that Luke has even taken his first steps without assistance.  YES, my sweet boy is walking without the walker and without holding on!!!  He is also talking and doing everything that other 4 year old boys do.  He may do it a bit slower but that is just fine with this mommy.  He will be starting physical, occupational and speech therapy through our school system very soon.  That is if he even qualifies by then.  He is just AMAZING AND DETERMINED and he has our full support.  He is a blessing to us!
