It is a very long time since I reported here on Archie's progress, which is partly because he came home from hospital still disabled by the stroke he suffered while unconscious with the septicaemia, and the prognosis did not seem very positive. However, despite various scares and setbacks he has continued to make slow progress, though unable to use his left arm and leg properly. When we saw him in September he was only able to 'get about' on his bottom, dragging himself with the heel of his good foot.
But my very best Christmas present has been to have him walk through my front door on Boxing Day, supported by his father, and to see him walk around the room by himself, just holding on to the furniture. He can also stand unsupported for a few moments at a time. He is now 4, and as bright as a button, and the realisation that improvement is possible has put a new sparkle in his eyes. He delights in showing off his newly acquired skills, such as standing on his 'bad' leg while he operates the pedal bin with his good one!
I am so thankful for all the support he and his family have received and cannot think of a better way of greeting 2006 than with this message.
