My Mom and Dad left for the airport at 5 am this morning, and we were sad to see them go. It was so nice having them here! We can never thank them enough for their support and spending so many days in the hospital helping us through this time in our lives.
I felt a little lonesome this morning, however, Jackson cheered me up fast with his happy self. In fact, he has kept me pretty busy all day. I am just now able to sit down and post. It has been hectic, but only 4 days and 4 more nights until we head home! We can do it!
We had a great weekend. Yesterday we went shopping at this huge mall. Since my husband, Tony, complained that Jackson was in the same shirt 2 blogs apart...I decided to cease the opportunity! It was good therapy for me! ;-)
Then we went to the Detroit Zoo to an event called "Zoo Boo." It was really festive and a lot of the kids dressed up in costumes. There were elaborate Halloween decorations, treat stops and fun activities throughout. I felt bad for Jackson, because all the kids had their costumes on...and his new turtle costume is in Texas. It was also FREEZING...but well worth it.
Today was back to usual with therapy. During his Occupational therapy, the therapist also brought in the musical therapist. Jackson had a good time with the singing, music instruments and her guitar playing. His favorite song was "When the Ants go Marching One by One...," and this girl was all into it! He was laughing up a storm and playing with the bells. At the same time, the clinical manager had a photographer taking pics of Jackson during his therapy for an exhibit for the Michigan Children's Rehabilitation unit. She is going to send me the pictures in the mail. He had quite the stimulation with everything.
He did great in all of his classes today...stronger and stronger each day! It is amazing to watch. Attached is a picture of him at the Zoo and standing behind a bench in Physical Therapy...with very little assistance!

I miss my little angel boy and his mommy so much! I can't tell you how hard it was to leave you. I thank God and everyone that is praying for you each day and continue to count all the blessings that have come into our lives. Hurry to Aunt MoMo's to hopefully greet our next blessings...sweet baby Emma and your journey home.
Love, hugs and kisses with "bubbles",

Meghan,
Jackson looks so great! He looks so grown up! Hang in there, I know how rough it must be for you to be doing this all on your own right now. If you need a pep talk, please don't hesitate to call me! Such a sweet post from your mom...I'm so glad you have such wonderful support from your family!! Can't wait to see you soon! Still praying and praising!
