I am so excited that I could jump up and down and dance in the street! (seriously) We have been working on Grant to get mobile since November. Bless his heart, he wanted to move so badly but could just not figure it out. He wouldn't bring his knees underneath him. He couldn't even army crawl. He just couldn't quite figure out how to get those legs working. I will admit that I struggled with worry that he had something that was keeping him from advancing. Praise God that He guarded me from entertaining those thoughts as well as protected Grant! Almost 3 weeks ago, God revealed to his therapists that he was not at all recognizing where his little legs were. He had no idea they were there so there was no way he could voluntarily move them. They started him on different exercises and added special weights to his legs to help him recognize that they were there and Oh My how he has taken off since then! First it was pulling his legs underneath him and keeping them tucked under him. Then practically overnight (again, seriously) he started army crawling this past Saturday. We could see that he was quickly learning how to use those little legs to get him places and that it wouldn't be long before he was crawling. What an understatement. It took Bryce nearly a month to transition from army crawling to full-fledged crawling. It took Grant just over a week! How great is our God! I am so proud of my little man. He tried and tried and tried so hard and when he got it, boy how he got it!!! :) Now, what do I do that I have TWO mobile boys?! LOL
ps Bryce in the past 24 hours has discovered that he can climb. Mama is indeed in trouble! ;)
PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD!!!!! What a HUGE blessing that is!! Oh my goodness!! 2 little guys loose!! and a climber?? Wow, Mom! You really have your hands full this time! Praying for strength and endurance for you! We are so excited that Grant is crawling now!! Gpa prays every meal time specifically for Grant and his legs. Gma fell this morning. Gpa was going to take her to her appt in Tyler today to see the orthopedist but decided that he wasn't up to handling the wheelchair and Mom by himself. Today, helping to lift her up off the floor was so different than in the past when she was just dead weight. Today she was able to help so we did not torque our backs like before. I would love to read the books to the girls on Zoodles but you have to pay for the books! Someone bought one and read it so I got to read that one to them. I sent 2 videos to Morgan and one to the girls. I love you Little Mama! hey! What is happening with your NICU work? What has God shown you about it? Praying for you always!!!
