In awe

In awe of God's perfect plan
In awe of God's timing
In awe of God's mercy

Just when I was in the process of accepting Aaron's current state. Just when I was allowing myself to grieve for the little boy he was... not so much for myself although I have missed seeing him crawl and attempt to walk but for Aaron. He had worked SO hard in therapy to learn these skills and then it seemed they were gone. He was taking steps then not even able to hold up his head. As he  realized he couldn't roll over or sit up anymore he just gave up and was content to be on  his back. Now that sparkle is back n his eye

It seems like overnight Aaron has completely changed. He is crawling all over the place. He is pulling himself up on his knees and trying to stand. He is chasing Keagan! He is using all of his words and signs again. I am having a terrible time trying to keep his tube in, but I am loving every minute. I bought a play yard to try and keep him in an area where is tubing will reach. After about 10 minutes he figured out he could not get out and was very unhappy. So, I followed him around all day pushing his IV pole so he could play. I loved watching him play with all of his favorite toys again. I am enjoying every minute and waiting to see what God has in store for this special little boy.

I have learned so much from this amazing little boy. He has been through so much but he is the happiest little boy. He always has a smile. I don't take a second for granted with my boys because I have learned it can all change in a moment. I am thanking God for this time with Aaron.
