Hi everyone,I just would like to give you a small update on my son Jonathan. On May 19th of this year Jonathan turned 7 yrs old. I can't believe how time flies. He is a happy little boy who is loved by so many. He can bring a smile to your face in a heartbeat. He loves to flirt with the girls of all ages. Sometimes I wonder who has more girlfriend,him or his 2 older brothers. Jonathan started the 2nd grade this year. Teacher says that he is adjusting well. They are working on his sensory and his motor skills. Jonathan is still on Baclofen and Valporic Acid. He eats pureed food and any thing that can be mashed. He loves to drink watermelon juice and Horchata(mexican rice water drink)and likes a popcicle every now and then. Soon Jonathan will be doing his 1st Communion. We just haven't decided on the date yet. There is so much more I would like to tell you about him. In my son's honor and for all the children like him, my family and friends particapate in an annual walk for The Children of Orange County Hospital. It is called the CHOC-Disneyland Walk in the Park to be held this Oct. 8th. We have walked for 7 yrs under the team name of Jonathan's Angels. This is our way of helping the hospital and all the children that will benifit from it. God Bless to all because we are truly special people to have these special children in our lives.
