When my son was much younger, I used to wonder and daydream about what he would be like if he was a "normal" one year old. Every year around his birthday those same feelings would come around and remind me just how severly delayed and disabled he was. My son was born with a life threatening illness and was sent home from the hospital after six long months to die. I refused to listen to all the negative talk from the doctors and decided to trust in the Lord instead. I have been working with my son for six and a half years now. Homeschooling him, working on therapy and feeding skills. He has come a long way and no longer resembles that little boy in a wheelchair , attached to a breathing machine and on oxygen. The Lord has been merciful and has completely healed him. He no longer needs any special equipment or nursing care. He is a good student and likes running around , playing with his younger brother. I love to seeing his smiling face as he signs to his favorite songs and I no longer wonder what he would be like anymore.

You are an amazing mother! I can imagine your despair after doctors told you he would die. I can almost taste your joy at his ability to run and play as a normal child now. Thank you for sharing such a heart warming story!
