Elijah is crawling! I think I can safely say that Elijah has officially started to crawl today. When something really interests him, he takes a few crawling steps, falls, gets up and takes a few more. It’s so exciting! He did it for me this morning in pursuit of his switch toy, did it for his therapist today, and then did even more for daddy after work tonight. The more he practices, the better he’ll get at it. Yay! Our little guy is mobile! Hallelujah!
This is a story of overcoming the odds, putting trust in God, and the miracle of prayer. Our son, Elijah, was born in August of 2007. As a result of the oxygen deprivation that occured during his birth he spent his first three (agonizing) weeks in the hospital. When he was seven days old, we were told that Elijah had "severe brain damage" on both sides of his brain. At that moment we entered Elijahland and we've been here ever since. We're learning to live with the diagnoses Elijah has started to accumulate, but mostly we're grateful that God chose us to be his parents. It is truly a privilege to live in Elijahland with our handsome boy. Thanks for visiting.
