Gratitude

My heart is full of gratitude for the progress Mason continues to make! I know we are truly blessed in so many ways! Mason continues to move forward with a smile on his face! We just added a social group to his busy schedule! He is amazingly surviving 9 hours of therapy on Monday! He is a trooper! Mason attended his first social group at 18 months of age. We had to fight him to interact with other children and to be a part of the activities! He just wanted to run around, flapping his hands and doing his own thing! He was nonverbal at the time! He had completely lost all his language! I remember leaving in tears, wondering what the future held for our son! Looking back now, I cry tears of happiness at the little boy he has become! Now, Mason walks into group with pure excitement, so eager to be with his friends! He sits in circle time, listening and responding! He even pretended to be robots with a little buddy of his, talking and walking like a robot! That is HUGE! Mason is an incredible, hardworking little boy! I am so relieved to finally be able to say, Mason has a beautiful future ahead of him! Mason WILL be okay! There are so many things that have contributed to that! One, the power of prayer! Two, the amazing therapists that work so hard and love Mason so much! And three, all of you that have supported us through our journey! Thank you for helping us give Mason such an incredible opportunity!
