Travis Lately

My handsome and sweet Superman...

an update on him is always a good thing!
He and Hadlee with the poster

she bought him with her book

fair money.  God bless them both.

Sweet, Sweet Souls. 

I love him so much.  

Always have, Always will.

He was my first true love.

Becoming an aunt was the absolute

BEST.  It changed me forever. 

Even though I was only 13 years old.  

Trav continues to take horseback

riding for therapy.  He had a show

in December.  Unfortunately it

was at the same time as Walker's

football banquet so I had to miss it:(

Everyone else went though!

As far as Travis Lately...well,

insurance has pretty much cut out

all therapy yet again.  But that's no

step for a stepper.  Travis works

out everyday on his own...

on the treadmill and lifting his weights.

He has such a drive. 

He spends his days at home mostly

watching tv, texting and being

on Facebook.  He sends out vocabulary

words for his followers to learn.  The guy is

so intelligent. His texts brighten

many of our days and his charm

is off the charts:)

His hair?  Well, it's not my favorite...

but he really, really wants to grow

it out much to EVERYONE's dismay.

He's SOOOOO much more handsome

with short hair.  The guy doesn't

have much control over anything

in his life...so if he wants his hair

like this, then more power to him. 

He had a swallow study a couple

of days before Christmas. 

A doctor and tech came to his house

in a van type thing to do it. 

For some reason the swallow

tests are SO hard for me to watch.

I just couldn't do it this time

and felt terrible not staying

for Lynna.  She is so strong.

As far as the results...well,

Travis said it best,

"the results were far from what

we wanted to hear" BUT the

 doctor just said more time is needed and

offered encouragement and hope! 

Nevertheless the results were hard to hear

 and take yet again.  Thankfully,

 Travis defies the odds time and time again.

I know God isn't going to let all

of this hard work/pain/struggle go in vain.

  It may not be on the time table I'd prefer

 (and certainly not Trav's - VERY understandably)

 but I just BeLieVe God is still very much

at work on this whole deal.

                       

I still can't believe and can't get over

what happened to my beloved Travis. 

The tears can fall so easily all the time

for him and over him.  It's a hard

life for him, Lynna and Scott.

There are some possible things in

their futures that I'm praying so much for...

a new job, possible retirement

and some good things in the works

for Travis.  I just pray and pray and pray.
