The two pictures are about a year apart. I have been very neglectful in posting any updates- not out of desire, but life is just busy with 6 kiddos. I wanted to post these two pictures as an encouragement to those just starting out on this journey. In the last year Leo had his NG tube replaced with a button. He got glasses that really have improved his eye sight and has begun to walk using a walker. The reality is that he is still way behind kids his age, but the progress he has made has been incredible. Slow and steady. He has 4 therapists that work with him each for an hour a week. The incentive of keeping up with his older siblings is what pushes him forward each day. He really loves his brothers and sister. I know each child is different and all of our journeys are gonna take different paths. But I want to encourage you to keep on pushing forward. The sky really can be the limit.

Leo is a sweet boy. Thank you for sharing him with us. He seems to have made incredible progress in a year. I like the photo of him with his mom. He is a sharp dresser.
