We have been told that Jymani's mind is that of a 2 or 3 year old.  He is significantly delayed...which we knew.  Speech is his biggest delay and they are pushing for more speech therapy for him.  He is talking in bigger sentences and we have noticed that things are sounding clearer!  He recognizes his name on paper and we have been working on shapes and colors with him.  The doctor's tell us Jymani is a "Complex Kiddo"  ....I was thinking...okay now tell us something we don't know!  ;)  Jymani is such a strong boy...I believe he is learning and making great strides.  He works well with his teachers and he makes a new project every week that we hang up in the kitchen wall for him!  He loves looking at all his fancy artwork!  I am so proud of you Jymani......xoxo

Jymani has been having a great time in all the snow we have been getting over the last few weeks!  He loves playing outside and he loves jumping in the snow! 

Jymani loves his Uncle "V"

Every time Jymani gets a phone call from his Uncle Vincent he is filled with joy!  Yesterday we asked him who he loved and after saying "Mommy & Daddy", he said, "And Uncle V"  He is so special to Jymani and I know he is just as special to you Vincent!!  So this is a special shout out to his #1 Uncle........we miss you V!

SECOND NEURO-PSYCH EVAL

TODAY JYMANI COMPLETED THE FIRST PART OF HIS SECOND NEURO-PSYCH EVAL.  HE SEEMED TO DO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME AND THE DOCTOR WORKING WITH HIM HAD MUCH MORE PATIENCE THAN THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK HIM  TO HAVE THIS DONE WHEN HE WAS THREE.  WE GO BACK ON THURSDAY TO COMPLETE THE EVALUATION AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND ADVICE ON WHICH DIRECTION TO GO!

JYMANI TURNED 5 TODAY!!  WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE HIM AND HE IS SO COURAGEOUS!  ALL THE OBSTACLES HE HAS OVERCOME AND CONTINUES TO BATTLE...HE IS TRULY A SOLDIER!  THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR JYMANI UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY AND THAT HE WAS ANOTHER YEAR OLDER!  HE WILL EVEN HOLD UP 5 FINGERS AND SAY "I'M FIVE".  I AM OVERCOME WITH JOY!!

CHRISTMAS 2009

WE HAD AN AWESOME HOLIDAY AND JYMANI WAS SUCH A LITTLE HAM!  HE GOT IT THIS YEAR....HE UNDERSTOOD THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS AND HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE WITH FAMILY!

GO PACKERS!

Jymani has begun "Home Based" learning through Early Childhood!!

IT TOOK US SOME TIME TO FINALLY GET JYMANI INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD, BUT THINGS ARE MOVING FORWARD AND HE NOW HAS A TEACHER COMING TO OUR HOME ONCE A WEEK ALONG WITH PT, OT AND SPEECH VISITING REGULARLY! I AM SO EXCITED FOR HIM, BECAUSE WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL DURING THE FLU SEASON SINCE HE CANNOT BE VACCINATED UNTIL NEXT FLU SEASON. THIS WILL HELP JYMANI PROGRESS AND NOT FALL TOO MUCH FURTHER BEHIND!

Visiting family in Wisconsin.........
