Ross's mom, Betsy, writes:
2015 is starting well for Ross.  We were so pleased when Ross started walking with parallel bars. We have now added walking with a walker. The walker enables him to walk farther with more stability, and to practice shifting his weight from his right leg to his left, and back as he walks from his room to his recliner in the family room, and later back to his room. He usually makes this trek three times a day. Sometimes, he wants to walk from his room to the exercise room, then outside, across the driveway, up the ramp, and into the house. We always have a strong caregiver who keeps Ross from losing his balance. Ross is very proud of himself, and appears to love the challenge.

He is speaking more, and speaking more clearly. It seems that he does not ask me what his name is as much as he did before. There have been several occasions recently when he looked at Rusty, the caregiver and me, and looking at each of us, said, “You are my father, you are my brother, you are my mother.”

Thank you for your love and prayers which strengthen us . Onward and upward!

    This photo of Ross was taken around 2001-his sense of humor was always amazing, and it's still a big part of the man he is today.
