And he's off ...



Chase finally mastered the art of crawling this week...time to baby proof our home. Not only can he crawl, but he's fast! We call him speed racer. Poor Max can no longer lay in peace now that he's one of Chase's primary targets. Chase is so active now he's hard to keep up with. He's taking 2 hour naps now though, so that's been great!

Today was Chase's six month review with Infant Toddler Services, the Kansas early childhood development program. With recent budget cuts, some of Chase's therapists had to be replaced. So we met his new occupational therapist, Kristin, and physical therapist, Jeanine, tonight. We really like them alot and are excited for them to begin working with him. I forgot the goals we listed for Chase six months ago, which included sitting up independently (check) and crawling (check). With his condition, we weren't really sure he'd be able to do either of those things. The therapist think they can have him walking in a few months, but we listed it as our goal for the next six months. We are really feeling good about the progress he's made and one of my favorite Bible versus keeps coming to mind. "With God all things are possible" Matthew 19:26

We are still waiting to hear the results from Chase's MRI. We thought we'd hear something a few days after the procedure, but then found out it takes up to two weeks before the doctor reads the radiology report. Hopefully we'll hear something this week.
