HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
There has been so much going on here in the Bergeron house.
Terry has been keeping us all busy! He got a wheel chair in November and a new gait trainer right before that. He got his very own TRICYCLE 4 days after Christmas and let me tell you there is no stopping him now! he is on the go all the time now! He just had X-rays done of his hips on December 27Th and we found out that Terry's hips are coming out of their sockets. We have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday the 18 of January. This worries me. He might have to have surgery on his little hips..my little man has been through so much will he ever get a break?? Terry is such a ray of sunshine and I know he can get through anything put in front of him..I remember when his Neurologist tried to tell us that Terry would not sit up, talk or walk.. well in your face!!! he is sitting up on his own and talking (more and more words everyday!) his walking is coming a long,but we now know that some of the problem might have been his hips. I look at him and am amazed every time... he truly is a miracle from above!! it makes you look back at the things going on in your life and realize that you really don't have it that bad! Terry is our little fighter! He never gives up! when we go bike riding.. well he is riding and I am walking behind him...he never wants to stop he just wants to keep going and going and going.. when we get any where near the house he petals faster and faster it really is funny! he would ride all day long if I would let him!!! he rides at least a mile every day that we are able to get out..weather permitting of course! I love to watch him play...he is a very good problem solver and it is neat to watch him figure things out! he still scoots around the house on his bottom unless he is on his little car.. which we had to buy him a new one a few months ago because he broke the back rest on his handy manny car... too funny!! He keeps the girls on their toes too... he is forever in their room when they are in there he wants to know what they are doing..he is a little busy body!! I will try to update the blog at least once or twice a week from now on! I know I have missed a lot I need to go back and read the older post to see what I have not mentioned yet...terry's wheel chair is really cool... the front wheels light up...too cool. he is getting really good at maneuvering it through the house and when we go out. he is not in it that much only every now and then and when we go out. He really is getting to big for a stroller now. he weighs 38 pounds right now! He is growing like a weed. some of the things he likes to do now: well he loves to ride his trike and loves to go on long walks..(him in the stroller) he loves to play with his cars and balls and loves being with his sisters....he loves going to school and he is in his second year of school and let me tell you if he don't go to school for what ever reason, he has a major cow!! and if we happen to drive by the school and we don't turn in he has an even bigger cow... he loves playing on his swing set in the back yard..he just loves being around people! I am working on a book... the book of Terry... there is so much to be told about him and i want people to know about Terry and trisomy 12p. so many people have never heard about it and I would like to share his store....well until next time!! :)
