Happy Thanksgiving!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!  (a little late) Hope you all had a wonderful day. We had family over to our house for Thanksgiving. This allowed Connor to stay comfortable and have all of his equipment handy. Although, this journey has had its ups and downs, we are constantly reminded to be THANKFUL for the little things in life. We continue to count our blessings which include all of you. Connor continues to do well. He does PT 2x a week and does his home exercises on a daily basis. We are amazed everyday of his positive spirits. I know, for sure, I would be at my wits end with this journey if I were him but he just goes about his business and doesn't complain one bit of his bionic leg.
So, Connor has almost had the Ex Fix on for 2 mos. In some ways, it feels like yesterday that he had surgery but then most days it seems like an eternity. We continue to take a day at a time. For the most part, his nights are manageable and seems to have a good routine down. He has become quite comfortable getting around in his walker. I have to remind him to slow down sometimes but then again, he is a very active 8 year old. We put up our Christmas tree this past weekend. The kids were very excited to decorate. Here is a picture of Connor helping the girls run the train.

  1. Someday when Connor is talking to his kids/grandkids, he's going to tell them a story about his bionic leg and they are going to walk away thinking "my daddy/grandpa IS a superhero!"
