Our little Andrew is a miracle in our lives. He never ceases to amaze us. I had the blessing of witnessing another miracle Sunday night during bath time. This may not seem big for an average child and would normally go unnoticed with any “normal” child, but for some reason it really touched me.
I was washing Andrew with the loofa like we do every night. I washed his back and went for his left arm. I pulled it up and out straight…and it went, with no pulling – no stiffness – no tightness – no contracture. This stopped me in my tracks. I actually looked at both his arms and made sure it really was his left arm I had grabbed. Normally I have to help straighten his arm by pushing against his elbow to help release the joint, but not that time – it just went! I couldn’t believe it. I tried it again and he was a bit tighter and it hasn’t happened since, but it happened once and it gave me so much hope for my Andrew. He is such a champ and I know he is watched over. He is so very special and I am grateful to have the gift of being able to raise this sweet boy.

He is so lucky to have you two as parents. What a sweet little man.
Brian must be so proud, already giving Mom the stiff arm.
