Edison had his yearly developmental evalutation at CHOP today so I thought I would post a recent picture as well as one from a year ago so you could see how far he's come. Overall the report is very positive! Yes, he is developmentally delayed, we knew that. The important thing is he is making progress across the board (with the exception of feeding). He has gained 7 months of development in the past 12 months and all signs indicate he will just continue to progress. At this age they don't like to "predict" what future challenges might be. We are just encouraged by his ongoing progress. If they had to put a number to it they would say that he's coming in around 19 months, some skills more advanced, some a little less so. What I know is he is our Edison and we wouldn't change a thing.

Karen and our friends in Virginia, I am just compelled to tell you how much our thoughts are with everyone at this time. Martin was a Hokie and this has just been an unbelievable tragedy.
