WHAT A DAY!!!!! Mr. Dylan officially walked today all by himself! He was getting up by himself and walking all over the backyard. He was pushing his lawn mower and even trying to run while playing hide n' go seek. What a brave boy!!! We are so proud of him and he was very much proud of himself. It must feel nice to get those strong legs of his moving again. This is the child who ran at 10 months! He is on the move! I am working on uploading videos this moment and will post them soon!

On another note...Dylan's doctors appointment yesterday was very positive. Dr. Zoldos (our hand surgeon/miracle worker) said that the graphs all took perfectly. No re-do! He can now have a bath...we took one today!!!! We will continue to do dressing changes until his next appointment in a couple weeks. His fingers are healing so well that all they need are simple band-aides. We will have his cast cut down on Monday so he can start to use his right hand. That is the best way for him to rehabilitate. We go to the orthopedic surgeon next week to see how his arm is healing. Lots of doctors, lots of things to think about, but all good news.

Thanks again for your continued love and support! It means so much to know that people are still checking the blog and are still concerned about Dylan's recovery. THANKS!!

Love, Emily
