spence had lots of PT today,he walked with a cane again, although a bit further today. they are actually giving him homework. he has 3 worksheets he has to do over the weekend before his speech therapy on monday. i guess better than preparing for the MCAS.
the docs are also working on his dizzy spells (i told them that its hereditary his mother is dizzy all the time, lol) actually something about his eyes not recentering quick enough which makes things not in focus. we are working on getting the contacts in but it is hard for spence to do it one handed.
donna and i have to give a shout out to spencer's siblings,olivia and carter. they have been wonderful. i never realized the bond the 3 of them shared,but in the last couple of weeks it has become quite apparent. the secret handshakes with carter and his nightly calls to liv are only the start of how deep they go. if you see them in school or around town give them a hug,high five,peace out or whatever to let them know you are thinking of them too.
i guess prayers and good thoughts all around, and right back at you!

It's great that during times like these, siblings can bond. Keep getting better Spence! Go Go Go!

P.S. SWEEEEET mohawk! I'm jealous. Not jealous enough, however, to actually cut my hair like a mohawk. I'm a wimp. =[ But yours rocks! =]

Spencer, the mohawk is great but what is even better is that you are up and walking. I say a little prayer for you and your family every time i drive by the house, and I drive by quite a few times a day. Take care everyone. Carter it was nice to see you the other day hanging out of dads truck.

This Sunshine Girl is stopping by again to let you know we are amazed at your leaps and bounds. You will have to start posting an itinerary so people will be able to find you now that you're traveling all over the place. You are such a lucky young man to have such wonderful parents and siblings who have been right there for you, all the way. As a mother and former teacher.... make sure you get that homework done. Just exercising my duty to say that. GO FOR IT... Keep up the good work since we are all behind you rooting away. :-)

Alright Spence,
Cool change of hairstyle, I'm sure it's to keep your folks on their toes(and working too). If you start with the gold teeth, chains around your neck and black makeup, we are going to have a problem. Thomas and Ryan got a kick out it. They said, yep that's Spence for you. You sure sound like your schedule is none stop. You really sound like your making strides buddy. Let the Earley fam give a shout out to the Nutts, Olivia and Carter, it is of no surprise at all that you 3 have the close bond now, like you had 10 years ago. Always hold that close to your hearts. We love you guys
