Thankful

As we come closer to Jameson's one year birthday, it's fun to look back and see the progress he's made. While some days can be hard, we find that every day there is something to be thankful for.

Grandma Gina and I were just talking earlier today about how much little man has changed since last May. When our nurse came to weigh him today, he had finally hit the 15 lb mark! What a celebration for all of us! We reflected back on when we had difficulty getting him to the 6, 7, and 10 lb marks. Sitting in the hospital for two months with a feeding tube down his nose and throwing up every day...he could barely gain an ounce. And to look at him now is just amazing. Such a happy little soldier. No matter what nature seems to throw at him he has an attitude that is to be admired.

One of Jameson's physical therapists said to me this week something that really struck a chord. It's not worth it to look at the future and put yourself into the dark places in your mind. We may not know how far Jameson can go or what our time will necessarily look like...but you can live each day to its fullest and be thankful for everything you have. And what we have is an amazing gift.

Love to you all :)
