Lawson has been working so hard in physical therapy these past few weeks. He is so determined. His therapists immediately put him in a walker after his cast came off and he has gone from needing lots of assistance in January to using it to walk across the room by himself! He calls it “red.” We have even started taking it to his preschool and he will use it in his classroom or on the playground. He is so proud of himself and it’s the cutest thing to see him get  so excited at his new independence. His left leg is still much weaker than his right, but we’re hoping that once he builds up his strength he will be able bear weight more equally. We just picked up his new hip brace that he wears while he sleeps to keep his hips in a good position. We will follow up with his doctor by video chat in May. We will repeat scans on that left hip this summer to keep a close eye on it.

We finally received his first wheelchair! We started the process in September so we were so anxious for it to get here. Since he had a loaner one while we waited, he knew just what to do. He will take off and then start going in circles, laughing the whole time. It’s moments like this that warm my heart. It’s easy to get caught up thinking of the other children his age running around, climbing on the playground, but Lawson doesn’t know any different and he will find his own way to keep up. My favorite is watching him wheel himself out from The Bell Center. He stops at the double doors and starting waving and laughing. That is PURE JOY!! 

We also had another visit with all his doctors at the Spina Bifida clinic and he got good reports from everyone! We will go back for his next visit in July.

In February, The Bell Center held the kids race as part of the Mercedes Marathon weekend. It was so heartwarming to see all the kids crossing the finish line. Lawson got upset because it was so loud, but with the help of his physical therapist was still able to make it with his walker (big tears and all-from him and us). Lawson was so fortunate to have 2 of our dear friends running the full marathon in his honor. Beth and Anna Ruth were rockstars and we are so thankful for them. 

We love you all!
