Sorry for the cross post but I wanted to share some good news.

Anthony has always HATED being on his stomach so, although we have tried =
since he was a baby, he has never crept or crawled independantly.=20

Well, last night Bobby was doing a worm thing across the living room floor =
(<shrug> ... he's 4...). I guess it looked like fun so Ant decided to give =
it a try! He managed (with a little help) to pull/ wiggle/ creep across =
the floor TWICE!! He was so proud and so were we.=20

He has done so well in all other areas (far better than ever expected) =
that his physical immobility seemed like such a small thing. But how =
wonderful it will be for him to be able to get around a bit independently!!=
!=20

I think the Botox in his arms (done Nov. 19) may play a role but thank God =
for "big" brothers!  :-)

Happy Holidays to all!
