Updates

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted but I just wanted to do an update on how well Ryan is doing. It's been 7 months since we've been back from camp and Ryan continues to show inprovements. His progress has plateaued a little bit now. He is still sleeping in a big boys bed which we are going to upgrade shortly to a set of bunk beds allowing Ryan to have more room. Right now he still sleeps in a toddler bed that uses a crib mattress.....yeah getting a little small.
He continues to feed and drink independently with a little help here and there but as far as his gag reflex it has never returned. Ryan's speach is a slow process with only a few words but his understanding seems to have grown multifolds. He definately has gotten a lot stronger, he hops all over the house on all fours and can even move backwards in the similar motion. He tall kneels holding the position for a great length of time and even while doing tasks. Overall I'm just so proud of him, I couldn't of been more blessed to have him. Here are some updated pictures of Ryan and his little brother.
