Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 That is so awesome that he is doing that well. See, I told you he would be fine. He has been through so much in his life, and now this is something he is doing on his own because he wants to. He is probably pretty darn proud of himself too! As he should be. Take him out to a special dinner and tell him how proud you are and what an awesome kid he is. And, give him a hug and a high five for me! ) What an inspiration. It seems so hard now with a 3 year old RSS child, but I am hoping he is going to turn out as well as Max has. I told you before how inspiring it is to hear what is going with Max. I just have to remember there is light coming soon. Jodi R. > Just thought I'd let you all know how " the JOB " is going.... As > most of you know, Max is working at our local Drug Fair.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 That is wonderful. He is coming into his own. I'm sure he will be looking to drive shortly (hopefully before the winter comes). I am so happy for Max and you and . You both have done a wonderful job as parents (and medical advocates). B Jodi Zwain wrote: Just thought I'd let you all know how " the JOB " is going....
