Day 15

 

Day 16: No Winter Paralympics this year. We’ll have to wait until 2022.

 

Day 17: James is spastic.

 

Day 18: He is far from common; he’s unique.

 

Day 19: This fact is a few years old. We’re pretty sure the number is higher!

 

Day 20: This number is probably higher with Facebook. Our family has met so many new friends.

 

Day 21: Very true!

 

Day 22: This is an older statistic so there might be more.

 

Day 23: James can’t walk. I think he likes when his momma carries him.

 

Day 24: He might not be able to talk, but he gets his needs met by the coo sounds he makes.

 

Day 25: James used to have to wear glasses, but his vision has gotten a bit better over the years.

 

Day 26: All four of his limbs are affected, but he has been trying to use his fingers and head to activate switches at school.

 

Day 27: We don’t get financial support, but we do get lots of support from family and friends.

 

Day 28: That’s too many!

 

Day 29: James had pain from scoliosis, but since spinal surgery this past summer, we think he is feeling better.

 

Day 30: All we want is for James to be treated like everyone else.

 

Day 31: Very true.
