Hunter Improves!!!
Hello, I am so very excited to tell you that Hunter is gaining sight each and every day! Today he was getting in trouble because he was knocking everything over—on purpose I might add. And after I told him to stop he walked right over to me and put his hands all over my face. This is something he has never done at all. I theory is that maybe, just maybe he saw me and was just trying to ‘check’ me out, because he knows my voice and shape. Also, he chased his soccer ball all around the room which is not so out of character but there was less feel and more looking. But the improvements don’t stop there. He dropped his sippy cup and it rolled under the bed. Anyone that knows Hunter knows that when he drops something he plops down, grabs his feet, and starts squawking, but not today. Today he got under the bed and retrieved the sippy!!!!! I am so excited I think Hunter has some new eyesight, only not so much vision. Vision is something that must be taught. So lets thank God for these wonderful improvements which would not be if not for God’s will and lets continue praying that He continues working on Hunter. Also, aside from these miraculous events, Hunter is generally a very cute and funny child. He has been singing a song that was written and sung by our friend, Ray Perkins. Only Hunter only knows about two or three words of it. Evidently he heard it off our CD, but he only says “Bottle, bi, BIBLE” and he holds the Bible part for a long time. Hopefully one day he’ll learn the whole song! He also created some new sayings such as, “You found the tickle,” “You talking smack,” and “Knee How!” (chinese for hello) When the nurse came in to take his temperature she said “Hi, I’m Sophie, I take your temperature.” And Hunter’s response was, “That’s enough!” So lets remember that Hunter’s last treatment is Monday, a spinal. Unless he keeps up with his out of character acts I probably won’t update until after his final injection. Also remember that we’ll be leaving out on your all’s Wednesday night, which is Thursday morning here and should be home late Thursday night. Just 5 short days to go!! We truly need your prayers and so do the other kids who are coming and leaving China. Also, approximately 17 hours of ‘air time’ with Hunter? I forgot a birthday, Great Grandma Anna will be celebrating her birthday on the 31st so lets remember that also. Thanks for all your comments, pray for Hunter’s eyesight, a safe trip back to the hills of Kentucky, and I need my laundry back(LOL)!!!
