Kim and I continue to notice small steps Charles is taking. He moves his arms and legs very little now. We have always explained this as he can and does move his arms and legs, but he just does not seem to want to. They are very limp most of the time now. Originally, we noticed Charles had what is called scissor legs, where he crossed his legs most of the time to look like open scissors. He still moves his arms and legs and his legs still scissor, but it is mostly limited to when he is upset. Many people have asked if he is in pain. We think he may be, but we feel that is limited to when we move him beyond a small range of motion, so we try to move him as little as possible. He also seems to struggle to pass gas and stools getting very upset when trying or not going for several days. We are trying a few things from prune juice to using a suppository when the juice does not work.
We would also like to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for those who were able to join us last weekend at Chick-fil-A. We had a great turn out and enjoyed talking to everyone and really appreciated the support you showed!!! We should hear from Chick-fil-A this week for how much was raised. The raffle was also a big success! Thank you Renae for making that happen and organizing the entire event and for those who donated items for the event.
Blessings
