.:HaPpY HaLlOwEeN:.

Well we had a way fun HaLlOwEeN this year.....Jackson was a Train Engineer....he liked to be called Sir Jackson Hat, since he was the conductor of Thomas the Train on his walker!!!! Barry was the best daddy and made a Thomas to put on the sides of Jackson's walker. He made it out of cardboard....I was super impressed. Jackson loved it, and it was so fun to see him enjoy somthing cool about his walker. It was fun this year to watch him get excited about going to the houses and saying TrIcK Or TrEaT.....and it was so cute to watch him and Talmadge cause one would start to say TrIcK Or....and then the other one would finish and say TrEaT. Jack has a lot of fun dressing up and he is having even more fun eating all of his candy (or maybe that is Barry and me). Well I hope that you all had a great HaLlOwEeN......
One another note....I just thought that I would let you all know that Jackson is going in for another MRI on Wed. I am a little anxious to see if his cerebellum is continuing to shrink or if it has stayed the same. If you remember please keep little Jackson in your prayers....sometimes the anestetic seems to give him a pretty hard time with his balance, so hopefully it won't affect him too much;D

"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.

.: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!!!!!!
