A child born of whom his early critics declared to our desperation, he may not walk, he may not talk, he may not swallow, he may not see, he will not hear (not even a maybe there), he may not go home.
Today we're marvelling at his ability to support himself for a precious moment on outstretched feet after 5 of his 8 months were spent flat on his back in intensive care. It is truly astounding.
Our little man continues to defy the odds set by the professionals who know so much, and yet can never truly understand the strength of the human spirit.

Catherine, I am so sorry I haven't been able to return your call... this is my best time of day and it's nearly 11:30pm... didn't think you'd appreciate that!
I am so glad to see you went to the signing class! That's wonderful! :-) Keep it up!
Talk to you soon! Can't wait to see what else I find as I catch up on here...
hugs,
Kristi
Amazing progess for Reuben, isnt it wonderful when our children do defy the odds...it makes me smile lots.
When Amélie was resuscitated aged 11 months after two arrests they put the adrenaline into her bone marrow to get her going as peripherally she was shut down, (intra-ossious) they told us she would be brain damaged from the lack of oxygen as it was along 12 and 5 minutes...she woke from sedation 18 days later and gave me a teeny smile I knew she was her normal self...they are so resiliant and wonderfully brave.
Enjoy every minute of Reubens progress and milestones.
Happy New Year
Love the Chans xxxxxxx
