One more for the Bipper!

Bob, known to some as the Bipper, had another amazing day. First he printed his name as the speech therapist said each letter. Amazing! Then, he counted by fives for me. Amazing! Then, he counted by tens for me. Amazing! Then, he counted by hundreds for me to one thousand. Amazing! The speech therapist suggested I try math problems tomorrow. Later, he said the entire alphabet with no help. Once again, amazing! And to think, in the beginning of all this, the doctors would have never laid odds that he would have any cognitive abilities. I guess there's something to being stubborn and having a "hard head".


My son, Daniel, and I took our dog, Bentley, in to see t. T was excited. He forgot everything around him and focused only on the dog.

A prayer of healing and strength:

Dear God,

Use every event in my life, even my present circumstance, to work within me to bring healing of body, mind, soul, spirit, and relationship. In every way manifest your blessing in and through my life. Amen.
