amazing

I was gone for 4 days - to a wedding and then to pack up our old house. I came back and went to see him in the early morning. I sat holding him, rubbing his back and noticed something was odd. There is absolutely no curve left in his back. I was so shocked I had to keep lifting his shirt to make sure. His back is completely straight and normal. He is also starting to move his legs a little and relax them normally (not just straight and stiff). As well, his capping is now going great. He complains and whines, sometimes getting angry but his breathing is fine and his oxygen looks great. As well, he has grown again. He is still a bit in size 3 but 4s are easier for pull-over shirts. Right now, it seems that all Fergus really wants is to be held. He loves cuddling (as he always has).

We are doing well. We are a little frazzled with moving and trying to keep up with everything. We will be getting the truck this weekend to finish the move. We now have a larger vehicle thanks to James, Matt's brother. It is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair for which we are all relieved. Our new address is 4430 Treadway, St. Louis, MO 63134. We are just 5 minutes from the airport - just let us know when you'll be dropping by and we'll pick you up!!

Our older kids are truly blessed to have their Aunt Deborah helping us out. She is taking them on a week long trip to North Carolina to the beach to be with my parents and other family. Please pray for a safe trip. They are so excited and Matt and I are so jealous. :)

We had a wonderful time at Jen's wedding last Saturday. It was very encouraging to see everyone. The support all of you have given is overwhelming. We feel so undeserving but we don't know how we would do any of this without you. Our whole family is surrounded by your prayers. Thank you, esther

(since I know where the library is now, I'll come post more - we don't have a computer at home that we can access the Internet with)
