And yes he does wear clothes. He gets them super dirty, super quick though so usually takes a couple baths a day and doesn't want to put the clothes back on ;)
I am back with the annual Christmas letter. I have so much to share. I am awesome. I am sure everyone knows that. Mom took me on a train trip Candy Cane Express and when the guy with the white beard walked in, I said, "Hello Father Christmas." Everyone thought that was really cute. Do not eat cheetos or doritos you find in a pile at my house. They will be wet and soggy from having the powdered stuff sucked off.. just warning you. Mom took me to the farm and we got fresh cider and Apple Cider donuts! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My new favorite. Mom says she glad it is a drive otherwise she would gain her weight back. At my parent teacher conference my teacher said she adores me. Her daughter was in my class last year. When she showed her daughter her class list before school started, Emma said, "You have Michael. Oh Mom you are so lucky, you got Michael." She said she thought it was funny for her to say un...
Michael completed his first year of school. Had his recent IEP meeting and he is staying right where he is with all his services and 1:1 aid. The meeting was fantastic. His school is very supportive and adore him. Sometimes traversing the issues that come with a child that has a medical IEP can be very difficult. It was in Roseburg. Such a relief that they didn't question any of his needs or supports and agreed. Michael has discovered girls in a way. His sister Adrianna is 16. She has friends over a lot. One came over named Kimberly and Michael absolutely went head over heels in "I want your attention". He told her she was cute and beautiful and had to sit right next to her while she was here. Other people tried to talk to him and he only had eyes for her. It was quite comical to watch. Michael at school recently needed a break and went into the Special Ed room to nap. He was on the f...
June brought the end of school. Michael had a VERY successful year! While he may not be typical, he did very well with typical children and made friends and socialized wonderfully. Academically he is beyond what most of the other little kids were but physically and cognitively he is still behind. We did get some great news though. There is another drug going into Phase 3 clinical trials for CDM and cognitive issues. We will be participating in the study!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michael will be in Utah, so will end his current study prior to beginning the new study. Already scheduled. We again will be meeting Sarah and Josh who are flying in from England and hopefully Deanise and family will join us for the weekend. We will have the boys together again. Michael has a visit with his sister and brother prior to having to go get surgery. One last run around with Ruffle Butt. Michael had surgery again...
Our James enjoys his "freedom" as well! LOL
