Baby Steps

Drew William's entrance into the world has been a little more eventful than we could ever have imagined. God has blessed us with a beautiful son and we have faith that He will guide us through the journey back to a healthy baby boy. This website is dedicated to updating friends and family on Drew's progress...his baby steps.

Rockin' and Rollin'

For anyone who may still be checking in on us, Drew is doing extremely well. Although we haven't had a CT or MRI lately to know what's going on in that little head of his, he's showing signs of progress in every other way. We're a little biased, but we think he's pretty cute, too!

He's growing by leaps and bounds...he had gotten down to the 3rd percentile in weight last December, but is now around the 20th percentile in weight and 25th percentile in height. He definitely doesn't appear to have missed many meals lately. Thank goodness he finally figured out how to eat!

He's rolling all over the floor...according to his Physical Therapist, everything he's doing is very age appropriate although we do have a few areas that need a little improvement. Right now we're working on developing his core muscles, encouraging him to bring his arms and hands mid-line more often and spending LOTS of floor time.

Our little cross eyed joe...fortunately, it's considered a "false cross eye" and is the result of a large nose bridge, not because he is really cross-eyed, so no pirate patches for our little man. The Pediatric Opthalmalogist also checked his optic nerve while we were there and said everything looks perfect. Music to our ears!

We'll be heading back to New Orleans for appointments, an MRI and a CT and will post the results after the appointments. Please pray for continued good news!
