Standing!

I am so happy and excited to tell EVERYONE that.... Alexander stood for the very first time on Thursday, May 20! It was for 2 to 3 minutes during his Physical and Occupational Therapy. Then, on Monday he did it again several times! He has to have his bracing on, and does best slightly propped up against the couch, but he is STANDING! We were told from the very beginning of his diagnosis of SMA that standing would NOT be possible! He proved everyone wrong!!! We could not be more proud of our sweet boy. I know that many people know the excitement that these milestones create in a family, but when you are told it will never happen and it does the excitement and joy can not be described!

Alexander, we are all soooo proud of you and love you very much! This just proves that you can do anything and everything you set your mind too! Some things may take longer than others, but with hard work you can do it! We love you Pumpkin Pie!
