Sant's Doctor Appointment


Santi and Jon-Michael talking while in the waiting room at Shands today

Hello All!

It's been some time since you've been in touch with Santi! Santi's doing great.

Today he had a routine check-up with Dr. Woo and all went well. One of our biggest prayers has been on behalf of Santi's weight gain. Well...he gained a pound!! .....for Santi, that's BIG....=) We tease Santi by telling him that we can tell when he gains weight by how kinda pudgy his nose looks...we think it's getting there!

One thing that Santi will be working on with more vigor and regularity, is his therapy. So far, Santi has been in a healing process with not much "hard" therapy. Today started some therapy that will work Santi's muscles, hips, and about everything else that is connected to the waist on down. He will start using a walker as part of therapy in order to help him stand straighter, and practice walking in a different way. So far, the only way Santi has walked, has been hunched over, and with a little shuffle. Santi doesn't have to walk that way anymore...Santi CAN'T walk that way anymore. The Dr.'s need Santi to practice hard on posture or there will be consequences for Santi's body if he doesn't.

Well...I think I've covered about all of it! The Lord continues to meet and provide for Santi, as well as for our whole family. God is is an amazing God...

For Santi and the Hurons,


Cilicia
