DJ Heads to Boot Camp

Happy new year to all and we hope that you all had a blessed Christmas. We had a great time in FL (13hr one way drive - ouch!) with Lisa's family and Zach enjoyed seeing all of his cousins. Dustin enjoyed himself as well as he got lots of attention! Pictures link here.

Since we've been back, we've had two appointments for Dustin, one with the physical therapist and one to check progress with Dustin's eyes. The PT said that Dustin was in the 10th percentile (90 percent of kids his age are ahead of him) regarding head control. Head control is key so that he can swallow and intake food other than milk. The PT gave us a few new exercises for this so we are off to the baby army surplus store to get some fatigues for Dustin - we're off to boot camp. Seriously, we're not horribly concerned here but we certainly want DJ enjoy other foods as soon as possible (as he does we're sure!) - please pray.

The eye testing on the other hand went much better. Last time, Dustin did well on vertical tracking (follow something like a finger or object) which is harder but did poorly on horizontal tracking. This time, DJ did well on both - praise.

All else is well and we've settled back into a routine - Rob has started a new role at Oracle with a former boss that he likes alot and Lisa is glad to have gotten through all of the rush of Christmas (although she likes Christmas alot and still wants to listen to Christmas music - Rob vetoed this).

Thanks for all of your Christmas cards - it's always fun to see the pictures and to hear about the goings on.

Thanks again for your prayers and we love you all.
