Christmas in Big Vic

Dec 23-26:
We all went to Victoria this year for Christmas - Jaden, Jeremy, myself and the two dogs, Sprite & Lucky. It was an opportunity to see my brother again since I last saw him in the hospital in Houston. He is now living with my parents and they take him to therapy Monday through Friday. He is walking and can move his right arm up and down. He can not move his fingers in his right hand yet and he still has a long way to go with his speech. He can understand just about everything you tell him, he's just having a very hard time taking what he's thinking in his head and getting that point across because he can't say the words and he can't write the words. There is a connection missing. But we all feel that with a lot of time and patience he will be able to strengthen this connection and hopefully improve it.

The weather was beautiful in Victoria! Temps were in the high 60's, low 70's and the days were sunny. We swung by downtown Victoria and Jaden ran around the gazebo in the center of downtown (don't all small towns have a gazebo in the center of downtown?). Here is a picture my niece, Tifany, took of Jaden and I in the gazebo.
