A LOOK AT OUR DAY


Skyler got invited to a pirate birthday party for his friend, but since he cant be around other kids right now his mom brought over all the stuff that they were going to do at the party.  He was so excited and said "Oh that was so nice of them!"  He got to decorate his own pirate hat and it turned out pretty sweet.

Here he is in his pirate hat working on standing with uncle Ty Ty


This is his "scary" pirate face


 Trying to stab mommy with his sword.  He thought this was really funny!


Getting chemo with a smile on his face.  His belly is still pretty big because his liver is still huge.


He likes to know everything that Im doing and why Im doing it.


My dad brought home a walker for Sky today and look at him...he's standing!!!! Well his bum is still leaning against the couch, but this is HUGE for him.  He has been so afraid to even try to stand so seeing him do this is amazing.  Im sure it helped that my dad was there too.  He absolutely loves my dad, they are best buddies and he does so well when he is around.  Thanks dad and way to go Skyler!!

WOW Crystal, he looks SO GOOD! I cant believe it. I think being home must be the best medicine. Tell him way to go on standing....he'll be running before you know it! Im so happy for you guys I could cry...it really seems like things are looking up for you and hes making good progress. YAY!
I hope you are getting some sleep and feeling well yourself...its hard on your body to be the sole caregiver all the time, even though you wouldnt have it any other way. Hope you are feeling well!

I've been following your blog from the beginning and just wanted to say how AMAZING Skyler looks! He is one tough little boy (with one great Mom)!

My son has cerebral palsy and he is 5. But I have a pediatric walker that is sitting in my garage. It has been there for about 2 years. If you would like to borrow it I would be more than happy to loan it to you. It is a reverse kaye walker. It has rolling wheels that might be easier for him to use because it rolls. My email is nancy.brown05@gmail.com I would be happy to loan it out

Crystal, Skyler looks absolutely wonderful. I can't get over his smile. It is one of the best smiles I have ever seen. He is so proud of himself standing there next to your dad. I pray every night that things will continue to improve for Skyler.
