"Magical" Post

The saying goes, 'Disney World is the most magical place on earth!'

Before I get to that.... I just want to let you know that it's pretty 'magical' here at home, too. A few weeks ago, we had a follow up visit with Whit and his developmental pediatrician. Due to some changes at Texas Children's Hospital, this was our first visit with this dr., but not our first at the Meyer Center. So, Whit had quite a history and right-up in his TCH record. From birth, to NICU, to cardio follow-up visits, GI visits, endochrine visits, Meyer Center visits, MRIs, developmental testing, and on-and-on. Those are just high-lights. Well, we went into this appointment not really knowing what to expect... new doctor and all. To make a long story short, we love the new doctor (we also loved the old one, but this one makes to top 5 list, too!). He did his exam, interviewed us and Whit, read through history notes, etc. The doctor was most amazed at his developmental progress, and was astounded at how he could SKIP with the amount of hypertonia/cerebral palsy that he has. He still noted a few things with his developmental delays - but was overall amazed at his progress given his start in life!! He doesn't want to see him again until he's in Kindergarten! Now, that's magical! (or a MIRACLE!)

We do have an appointment on December 28th with a NeuroSurgeon to receive information concerning some things found during his spinal MRI. I'll update with more of that when we find out.

Okay, now more "magical" news. Christmas is my favorite time of year! I just love it! Okay, that's probably not 'new' news...

This last weekend, we had the opportunity to go to Disney World. Yes... these three kiddos...

on an airplane...

Yes, a little crazy - you might be thinking. Yes, a little crazy - you are right! However, it was an opportunity too good to pass up, and we did - in fact - have a MAGICAL time!! Our church choir was singing in the candlelight processional on Friday night with a mixed choir of about 300 singers at Epcot. Corbett sang in the choir, and the kids loved it! We didn't get to do much else at Epcot. However, we had a great time at Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom. Here are a few of the highlights.... afterall, pictures speak louder than words!
