Scooting on my couch with a new hair cut

This is kind of different I scooted all the way down my couch!



Check out my new haircut - My Mom cut it with her new clippers she got for Christmas while Grandma held me. Now mom can keep my hair all cute and stuff! I think my hair cut makes my ears look kind of big! Oh well they are my ears got to love them. I hear lots of good stuff with them.

Helping Micah is helping me!

My name is Cindy, and I am one of Micah's many volunteers. I met steph years back through micah's dad. I followed micah's story from day one and finally decided to help. I am so glad I did. My niece and I go together on tuesdays, and we are learning so much. Each time we go to pattern micah we are reminded of how blessed Micah is to have come thru this, how strong stephanie has been each and every day of micah's beautiful existance, and how lucky we are to be part of his recovery. We look forward to the day that micah can walk, and talk, and tell us exactly what that cute little mind is thinking....I have faith that that day will come.

Stephanie is so dedicated, and micah is progressing so well!

Sweet Micah

My name is Ruth Rannis and I am one of the volunteers in helping Micah through his therapy. I was introduced to him by my friend Trina who I have known her family for years. I have been helping for the last few weeks with Micah and I am so impressed on his progress. He is such a joy to see every week. He is so sweet . I am so happy I can help Stephanie. I am also so impressed with her and how much dedication and determination she has and I admire how strong and loving she is. I thank Stephanie for allowing me to help with his patterning and Trina for introducing me to Micah's story. God Bless Micah and his family.
love
Ruth Rannis

Trina

Hi! My name is Trina, and I'm one of Micah's many volunteers. I live in Ladera Ranch, and am the mom of eight kids. Our Big Happy Family

I just want to say that Micah is very special to me and has become a BIG part of my life. I look forward to Wednesdays because that is my patterning time with him! (if only we lived closer...I'd be there everyday to help!)

Patterning is very familiar to me because it's the same program that we did on our daughter, Audriana, back in 1997 after her brain injury. We did this for almost three years with her, so I think I can safely say that I am an expert patterner!

I admire Stephanie for taking on this very demanding, time-consuming intensive program. I truly think it is the hardest therapy to carry out, as it requires many, many hours a day to complete. Not many mothers are up for the committment it takes -- believe me, I've met many who turned down the chance to do this program on their child because they simply didn't think they could do it each and everyday. My heart goes out to those kids, because who knows how much they would have improved if given this chance? Micah is so very lucky to have a mom like Stephanie, and the support of her family to help.

I get so much joy from just holding Micah and hearing him make cooing sounds. I love to see him smile. I love when he throws his head back in excitement. I enjoy watching him interact with my kids when they come with me to pattern. And I love those fat feet of his :)

Micah is in my daily thoughts and prayers. I know God will heal Micah, I just don't know how long it will take. I do know that everyone is doing all that they can to give him the best chance in life. And I know that Micah has touched the lives of all those who have met him.

I love you Micah Lee... very much! God bless you, sweet boy! I'll see you on Wednesday!

Christmas 2007

Hi Everybody I want to thank all the volunteers that have devoted their time to help Micah with his patterning schedule! I haven't met you all of you but the ones I have met are absolutely wonderful! I believe things happen for a reason and all of you are in Micah's life for a reason!

I am going to try to teach Stephanie how to do this blog so she can can keep you more up to date.
