Journal entry by Alexis Smith —
In Shelly's words:
Arch update! He’s getting up and moving around, but it’s hard to describe how limited things are without fine motor skills. Hand function is nothing to take for granted!!!! So far Finley is stoked to help daddy find something to wear & assist him in getting his pants & shirt on. She also drags out his basket of OT exercises. Preston is eager & willing to do his part as well. We have great kids and we are counting our blessings. I have to remind myself daily that it has only been two weeks and things take time. He’s determined and can do this.
