Happy 4th Birthday Benaiah!

Benaiah woke up to presents, he had time to open them and then he had to head out the door to OT.

Playing with his friends. He loves these girls.

Here is the Birthday Boy with his Choo Choo cake.



Do you like the cake and ice cream?





He loves his party hats and noise makers.  Did you know noise makers are good therapy?
Today was the big day. I have been thinking back on these last 4 yrs. How Benaiah’s birth was very rough but we thought he was fine, then the thumper rabbit, then the head drops and during this time EI. How thrilled we were at 1 year to have a diagnosis, but not seizures, and such a happy baby, 15 months no talking, but he was walking. I found a wonderful group where I learned a lot about hemiplegia and found a lot of support  for all the things we deal with. At 2 years is when the seizures kicked in again and we knew our little guy needed something to stop them, 28 months is when we met a wonderful Doctor in Ukraine, Mike W, who I see the Lord guiding. We also invited Stefa, Momma Stefa as Benaiah calls her into our lives and Benaiah is/was immersed in Ukrainian. At 3 Benaiah loved to play with cars and his sand box; and go throughout the village. Now marks his 4th Birthday and boy are we happy with where he is now. He is able to communicate, ride his trike like a mad man, can count in sign. Thank you Lord for giving us Benaiah, thank you for taking us to Holland as I know You are here in Holland with us. Benaiah, I love you and I hope and pray that your 4th year is your best birthday yet
