On Tuesday, Anderson went for his year developmental screening at Vanderbilt. At first, a nurse practitioner came in and did most of the screening. She played with him in the floor and then asked me a series of questions. She then left the room and told me she was going to go score the screening and she would be right back. When she came back in, she brought a doctor with her-Not just any doctor, but a doctor who had taken care of Anderson after he was born. Since his condition is not very common, she remembered exactly who he was...and when she walked in the room, her mouth literally dropped open.
She then did a few more little tests on him, and just kept shaking her head in disbelief. She told me she was amazed at how well he is doing. I said, "I know. When he was 4 days old you guys told us he wouldn't be able to do much of anything." She looked me dead in the eye and said, "I know. I remember."
I told her how pleased Jamie and I are with the progress he is making and how well he is doing. She then said, "You should be. You have no idea how pleased you should be. This kid is amazing!"
:) I think I walked out of that office with the biggest smile on my face. The doctor tried to attribute his progress to Jamie and I working with him- BUT we don't take ANY credit at all...we know who deserves all the credit and glory! Thank you Father for this child who is a blessing to so many!

Thank you for so faithfully updating this page! I always am checking to see what's going on with your family. I would have loved to have seen that doctor's face when he saw precious little Anderson!!
