We had a pretty calm weekend. Billy is doing great with his splints. We started standing him up for one minute at a time so that he start bearing weight. We don't want him to loose bone density. He kind of freaked out at first, but he quickly adjusted and doesn't seem to mind. He started moving his feet and legs somewhat (while sneezing or yawning, and sometimes when I tickle his foot.) I really liked the Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment place in San Bernardino, but it is pricey ($150 a treatment and he needs 40 to begin with), so I am checking a place in Fountain Valley and Irvine (a further drive, but if it costs less, it might be worth it.)
Saturday, Billy and Monet went to Wild Animal Park in San Diego with his sister (Judy), niece (Jodie) and her son (Blake). They had a nice time, but Billy had to try and deal with his feelings of not having Billy Boy there, while trying to have fun with Monet. It's hard to deal with the emotional side of all this. Sometimes it's easier to be at home with him, that way you don't have time to let those feelings creep up on you, although it's not fair to Monet. It's tough, but we have to deal with it for now. We try to keep positve, because we know God has something amazing in store for us!

Hi Guys!
I am not really sure what to say, I am inspired by your faith and knowing that God has amazing plans for all of you, even when it may not feel that way. Russel misses Billy so much in Cub Scouts, we all do. Billy is one of his favorites though :) We pray for him daily and will continue to do so for him and all of you! I am sure you get tons of offers for help, but really if there is anything we (I) can do please let me know. We can hang with Monet or I can help with Billy :) Use me if you can/want :)
