Brinton turns 11....

The 10th year of Brinton's life was by far the hardest.  He endured major spinal surgery, a stay in the Pediatric ICU, over a week in the hospital, 3 months out of school and in a halo, less activity/mobility than a 10 year old boy should ever, ever have to deal with, a move to a new school just as he was readjusting to life back at his old school and the list goes on and on and on....So it is with great pleasure that we say good bye to being a 10 year old and HELLO 11!!!!!!

Brinton turned 11 on May 2nd and after months and months of not being able to participate in any sort of physical activity he received a very special delivery.

He has been in HEAVEN with his new bicycle and I cry every time I see him get on it and ride.  Is this real?  Is this my boy who was just literally in a wheel chair and walking with a walker now riding a bike?!  Nearly a mile to school and back!  Every day!  Yep.  Sure is.

I'm so proud of him.  

May 11 years old be the very, very best year.  

I love you Bubba.  Happy Birthday!
