Wow! We've been really busy since the 2011 began. Last week, I was off from work, but seems like we had something going on everyday. Javy had a renal ultrasound which was ordered by the geneticist. His kidneys and bladder looked great and there were no deformities found. Derek Ng came over from Oahu and completely rebuilt his wheelchair and expanded it. Javy looks small in it, but if he grows much more, we'll just have to get him a new wheelchair. Derek says there's not anymore room for expansion.
Last Saturday, Javy went surfing for his third time. It was really cold, but all the diehard surfers went anyways. Javy had so much fun and he got the longest wave of the day. I posted the link for KORE so go look at all the really great pictures taken by Bill Crane.
Javy has had really good reports from his teacher, even for the short amount of time that he has been back at school. She says that he has been really verbal and they hear him say, Yeah, a lot. He seems to have mastered pushing his wheelchair by himself and purposely turns himself to get what he wants. This is such a blessing because it's hard to believe that a few months ago, he wouldn't even try. Also, the last two nights, I've gotten him to walk to the bathroom for his shower. All I do is hold his elbows and he just goes. This is really amazing because he actually initiated this.
The future is looking really bright, so put on your shades.
