Nate Goes to School and Dances!

Great news!!!! Nate is starting school today. He will be attending the last 2 periods of the day and will do that for maybe a week or so, depending on how he is doing...strength wise, etc. We are so grateful for the progress he has made. He still is having some problems, and we are hoping that the Drs. can figure it out, but for the most part, we are seeing some great improvement, and know that through the faith, prayers and love of our Heavenly Father, Nate is doing so well, and for that we are so grateful. He has gained 5 lbs. and is trying new foods, some work with his body, and others aren't so good, but he is eating.

This picture is a small depiction of how well Nate is doing. He was listening to a new song he discovered and one of his nieces said she knew a dance to it. So he stood up (oh, can you tell he attended church, as he is in his Sunday clothes...that are falling down!!!) and started to try and mimic her moves. We almost started to cry, it was so great to see him doing "normal" things again.

Getting better and gaining weight!

For all of our friends and family...a BIG thanks. Nate is doing so much better this past week. He has gained 4 pounds, and is feeling pretty good. He is moving on his own, except for getting in and out of bed. He is getting more of an appetite, and is enjoying food. He can't wait until he can eat lettuce and veggies, and is trying new things every day. He meets with the Drs. on Wednesday, and will see what they feel he can do with school. Keep your fingers crossed.
