ALEX had a great day at therapy today! He walked on the treadmill, walked around the building and learned to get on his knees and balance today... that was a task for sure! See videos below:
The first video is of Alex cutting up before therapy began... He's still got it!
This is video of Alex getting on his knees:
So we leave therapy and are on the road about 5:00pm.... RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. We get on I-10 about 20 minutes into the ride and Alex says... "Mom, get off quick I gotta POOP!"..... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH are you freaking kidding me???!! "RIGHT NOW? YOU CAN'T HOLD IT 5 MINUTES?"..... "OMG...No Mom I feel it coming out now!"... "Alex... it doesn't sneak up on you like that outta no where... you gotta let me know ahead of time"... "I'm telling you NOW... get off and find a bathroom".... WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST??? I am in the fast lane.... traffic is poking along... trying to get over... don't want to get off on McDuff trying to get him to hold it till Cassat... the whole time he is saying "It's coming out"....

Before I forget.....PRAYER REQUEST PLEASE:
Patrick Harding ... He's 13. He was slide tackled during a soccer game last night. Punctured lung, two broken ribs and he's still bleeding in lung, so they are watching him for the next 12 hrs hoping the bleeding will stop...then They'll decide about surgery. He is in Alex's PICU room at Shand's... he is in excellent hands but I need all you prayer warriors to lift him and his family up in prayer for the bleeding to stop!! THANK YOU!
Have a great day!
PEACE~LOVE~N~THUMBS UP~!
