It has been a great 6 years!

I started this blog with the intention of helping others to see that even in the worse case senerios there is always hope. As a parent you always have to have faith that things can be better than what the profesional people tell you. Avris life proves this to be true.
Despite anything that I was ever told about how Avri would be, she had a good normal 6 years of life before the seizure and prolonged presure on her brain. Since that time she is still in her life skills class. She has learned how to do things that doctors said were not possiable. For instance her two lobes of her brain do not comunicate at all. He brain anatomy is not normal at all. I was told that her left to right brain motions would never work. Such as swimming or riding a bike. IT has taken longer than most kids, but she is getting there. On a good day Avri can ride a bike. On any day Avri is an excellent swimmer. I was told never to let her swim one because of her risk of seizure in the water, but also that she would not ever get the right to left brain motions it would take to swim. One of Avris favorite things to do is go swimming. She is now in JR High and last year participated in the special ed track team. She participated in ever single event. She ran the races with a smile on her face and laughed at her clumsyness. She also played in the special olympics volly ball games. So far this year she once again played on the volly ball team. Although they do get to stand closer to the net but she served 4 points in a row durring one game. Such small things are some of the proudest moments in my life. I can not explain the joy she brings to my life and to the life of others.
