.:NEW BIKE:.

Jackson finally got his new bike. HE LOVES IT!!!!! Jackson was able to get this bike by someone who we don't even know donating the money for Shriners hospital to buy it for him. Keep in mind that this bike costs about $1000. I was so humbled by the generosity that people have to donate to children like Jackson. Cause I don't know if we would have ever been able to afford this bike by ourselves. We truely are so blessed with everything that has been done for our little angel. The Christmas Tree Jubilee is going to be donating him his very own new walker next week. This really does go to show you that when you donate money to something that there is definately someone out there who needs it and someone who appreciates it more than you know. I am so gratful for the people that have helped us in this way. It has been such a joy to watch Jackson ride his bike. I think that he feels a whole new sense of freedom, and he tells me that he is a "big boy" when he is riding it. I will never know why my Father in Heaven blessed me with such a sweet amazing boy!

"A Quiet Testimony"

You could look at this little boy and think nothing is wrong
Those that know him, know he's struggled all along.
Appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor
Built up with frustration, but sitting with no answer.
Not knowing where to start or what to do
Quietly the little boy grew and grew.
His parents each holding a hand along the way
He's not going anywhere-He is here to stay.
In his eyes, determination-In his heart is faith
He pushed the bar and slowly it was raised.
Always smiling, and happy as can be
Such a small boy, not yet three.
He's stronger than most, but not where expected
His so called battle his mind has rejected.
He's doing his best, and through that succeeding
While those that love him are fervently pleading.
Throughout his life, he'll go so far
From the beginning he let to raise the bar.
With that attitude of-"Come what may" He's my little angel, Jackson Ray.
"Shannon Sommers"

.:Our Blessing:.

Jackson has just recently been diagnosed with Ataxia. He is doing so well and loves walking with his walker. Jackson still has physical, occupational, and speech therapy once a week. Jackson loves his therapists and does such a great job for them.
Jackson has taught Barry and I a lot about loving and patients. He loves so much and is such a happy boy(most of the time). We love Jackson so much and are so proud of him. Even though his life is a little harder for him you could never be able to tell, just for the fact that he doesn't let it slow him down. And that is a lesson that he can teach all of us. What an awesome kid!!!!!!
