One Small Step for DJ

My son DJ who is multi-handicapped has started to hold his head up and do chewing motions! We actually fed him stage 3 baby food today! Ever since the docs lowered his phenobarbitual medication for his seizures, he literally had less seizures and is more alert than ever!!! My brother-in-law Marcos who is also a pastor (my ex-pastor for a long long time) said something I liked…one small step for DJ…one giant step towards miraculous. For context know that when he was born and in a hospital in NYC in the NICU, I had to go back to FL to close up everything before moving back to NY to deal with him and the subsequent 2 year journey in and out of hospital. Well, while in FL a messianic jew came to my house (she was a Bekins moving agency rep) and told me “he will survive and proclaim God’s glory”. So hey you never know. I hope for the best, prepare for the worst. But God…NEVER lets you know what he is up to…good or bad. Anyway, I am rejoicing today as I slave over a 20 page paper due tomorrow!!!
