Weekend news.....

Jeni sent me the video clip below of Jude moving his legs~~~ She has a few more to send that I will post when I receive them. It is so sweet to hear her excitement for him in his accomplishment!!! Here is her latest note.....

"Jude has been amazing us with his new movements. He wiggles his fingers, kicks his legs, holds his arms up at the elbows, and holds his head up in his wheelchair. The docs are really amazed at how fast he's progressing. Our weekend is full of freetime finally because this whole week was full of sedation, spinal taps, bone scans, mri's, cat scans, and a surgury to get that central iv line put in. His bones are clear, but he does have spreading also down his spine, which we already assumed. His radiation will start midweek next week. Tomorrow we will be moving to the Ronald McDonald house and I have to learn how to put Jude's IV stuff in, and flush it and change dressings, etc. AHH!! I do not want to be responsible for all that. Oh well, they say everybody does that here, and that it's easy. Maybe so,,,, anyway, I will write more later. Thanks again for all the thoughts and well wishes and prayers. Love everyone so much!!
