Hello Everyone & Happy Easter ! We hope this update finds you all well, and happy. Nick's Uncle Jr. (TSgt. Henry R. Holland) and his cousin Justin Dodger are currently serving our country over seas. Justin thru the Navy and Jr. thru the Airforce.
*** We love and miss you guys and you are in our prayers for a quick and safe return home.
And for all of you - our friends, with loved ones serving in the armed forces - our thougths and prayers are with them and you too. May they be safe and well and may we all be reunited soon.
Nick is doing very well - his therapists are all pleased with his progress lately! Looks like that deep tissue massage is really paying off. Loosening him up and getting him going! He has so much more energy now it's amazing!! And more confidence too! He is looking great too if I do say so myself - just ck him out with "The Bunny" above - looking VERY happy and healthy! (The Bunny was tickling him too)
All effects of the bad infection Nick had in is neck are completely gone! Thanks so much for the prayer power!! He isnt even stiff anymore!!! (see last updates if you missed the last crisis)
******This week we went for a walk and Nick and I walked
3 TIMES as far as we did this time last year!!
His balance and strength have improved alot and this week end, Nick is going to try and ride his new bike WITHOUT training wheels!! (He's been working up to it mentally for awhile!)
Thanks again to all who sent Nick cards and gifts for his birthday, and the cards and guestbook messages to pick him up and encourage him. Nick sends you all BIG thank yous, hugs, and his love. I am way behind in thanking you all individually - and I apologize - please know though we are very very gratefull for ALL of you and all you do. Nick is a very lucky boy to have you all supporting him with cards and gifts and most of all in prayer.
Next MRI scans are in a month, so I will update then - but we are confident that they will again show Nick to be in remission!
Untill then - thank you all - God Bless - and Happy Easter!
Pam, Bob, & Nick
