Good afternoon again to all of Little Buddy’s supporters,
We heard from the Smith family today and it looks like things continue to get better a little at a time for Christian as he begins his physical therapy during his long recovery efforts. Parker has sent us an update to let us know that Christian continues his fight and show what true grit really means.
“Good morning everyone! This has definitely been a journey. First of all I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for my little Christian. It is clear God has been hearing our prayers! Also the donations have just been so helpful we literally couldn’t do it without you.
Over the last few weeks we have been seeing miracles every single day! When Christian first woke up he was not really comprehending anything around him, he was more or less just looking around with a blank stare. But very quickly he started nodding his head for yes and no. Then soon came the words like Mom, Dad, PJ. After about 2 weeks I went to give him knuckles and he lifted his left arm and gave me a fist bump. That was the first time I felt like I could breathe again!
Since then we were moved up to the 10th floor (this is the rehab floor). He is now off all of his IV’s and is getting about 4.5 hours of PT daily. This is to include learning how to eat, drink, walk, balance and talk. This little dude is incredible and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for him. Just today the Dr.’s came in to give use a timeline that they think we will be here. They gave us about 8-10 weeks. But while they were in there they were impressed with the way he was moving and said they may need to reevaluate the situation.
Now Christian is moving his left arm and left leg. That side of his body is still pretty uncoordinated and weak but it’s amazing to see how much progress he has made in such a short time! I’m also now able to help him walk around the room!
Prayers:
Please continue to pray for little man. He still has an extremely long road ahead of him but it’s very comforting to know how many people love and support him. If you could just send a quick prayer for him while you pray for your food, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for being by our side through this whole situation!”
We are definitely encouraged by Little Buddy’s determination and continue to cheer him on!!! He is in this for the long haul and is giving it the maximum effort.
Please remember you can continue to help the Smith family at https://gofund.me/b9f46da2 and also send any well wishes and get well cards to: 68 16th St., Wheatland, WY. 82201.
Thank you again for all of your support and prayers for Christian and we will let everyone know how he is progressing in a couple of weeks.
