SO much more today...

WEll, this week has been soo busy! Koby had an interesting PT/OT session on monday which has brought up a new issue that we are going to address with him. basically he feels lost in gravity so we have been given some exercises to work with, so I hope they work. I took him tothe ENT on Wednesday and they said he needs Tubes. He has alot of fluidbehind his ears so we are hoping to get that dones next week or so. I am really excited about Koby's new signs. he learned a few more this week, and has started verbalizing with signs as well which is great!

We also found out this week that Koby is gong to be a big brother! We are expecting a baby, at the end of the year. From what I can tell my EDD would be about January 1st but I go to the Dr on the 8th of May. We are sooo very excited...I can' t wait to be holding BOTH of My Southern Fried blessings!!!

Beginning.....

I have decided to start this blog after MANY months of considering, not knowing really if I wanted to or not. Hopefully this will be worth it!

My name is Courtney. The purpose of this blog is to have a way to honor my sweet son Koby, and share about him daily with family and friends the things I wish I could . I wish everyone could feel the way I do at the end of the day when I kiss that sweet boy good night and reflect back on the things of the day we have shared. Koby is the light of my life. He was born on December 16th 2004. He has been through a lot in his short little life. After a very rough entrance into the world he was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. That is a genetic condition in which he has three chromosome number 21's. He had open heart surgery at 2 months, and even though he still needs a few different surgeries, he is healthy and doing quite well!!! WE are sooo proud of everything he accomplishes daily. That is the greatest part about having a "special needs" child...You relish in the little things they do, and learn to appreciate life for what it is worth. He is the biggest blessing GOD has ever given me. I don't know what I did to deserve such an beautiful baby, but I am so thankful. Everyday that I wake up I am blessed!!!! I am BLESSED!

I hope ya'll enjoy reading about Koby as much as I enjoy writing about him. Talk to you soon...-Court
