Travis & Another Baylor Session

Travis had ANOTHER awesome

session of speech therapy at Baylor

this semester!  Kylie was his therapist

and she was amazing.

She "got" Travis!

(And he thought she was hot!) 

Truly sooooooooooo very thankful

for Kylie...I think she was the best

one we've had yet at Baylor

and they have all been awesome:)

Travis made the MOST progress

he's made yet at Baylor during this session. 

How handsome is he?!?

I love him so much.

Even though I try really, really hard

not to get frustrated when I hear people

complain about things ('cuz I know I do it, too),

it does sometimes amaze me the things people

will say and I wish they could step in

Trav's shoes for even just THIRTY minutes. 

Their outlook on life would change. 

 

While I am more than eternally grateful for

Trav's life and the way he was saved three and a

half years ago, sometimes I just want to be sad

and shout on his behalf "it's not fair"! I see firsthand

what he has to go through as he continues his journey

to learn to talk, eat and walk independently

 and it makes my heart ache. I wish it were me and not him.

 

Then the week before Thanksgiving, he

writes a post for his blog ~

a real dose of perspective and THANKSgiving. 

He hardly mentions his struggles...

just gives thanks to God and everyone who has prayed for him. 

What a mighty miracle!!!!!

 

 Who wears a full burnt orange outfit to

Baylor campus on the week that

Baylor plays their biggest game of the season

AGAINST Texas?!?  THIS guy...........

He's a mess.

I remember worrying at the beginning of

this fall session how in the WORLD

I'd be able to get him to speech at Baylor

four days a week?  God helped and God provided...

as He always does.  I'm thankful for

Claudette who took Trav on Tuesdays

and served as back up.  She's an angel

in our lives.  I cherish my time with

Travis...sometimes I leave him feeling

sad but I always leave him knowing

that I've been with a miracle straight from God.

Thanksgiving also made me think

about this picture of Travis ...

I never knew I could love a little

being so much as I loved Travis.

God knew I needed him❤
