Bryce has worked really hard this past year-he has earned straight A’s in Middle School, continued Physical Therapy, he has started working on ice skating again, gotten more involved in our church’s youth group, enjoyed participating in local activities with his hockey team as a non-skating rostered member and has developed some new friendships.  He has undergone two additional eye surgeries attempting to correct his double vision (it is improved but not yet resolved…he may ultimately need to wear glasses with a prism).  We are so incredibly proud of how resilient he is.

We got to vacation for Spring Break this year as a family-we enjoyed a dolphin encounter (see pictures), Bryce and Chad were truly the last ones standing on a deep sea fishing trip (the crew brought me, Colton & Austin back to the docks barfing), but thankfully Bryce got to do something he loves most and had a very fruitful fishing experience.  Having time together complete with all 5 of us did not go unappreciated. We are so thankful. Bryce’s Neurosurgeon  and her team hear from us routinely-just how thankful we are!

We appreciate all the support and prayers and praises to God. Please continue to pray for Bryce-he will obviously remain under close medical surveillance and will continue working to rehabilitate.  Please enjoy the pictures I have included of Bryce living his life as a 12 year old boy-with his hard work and determination not much gets in his way!
