Friends and family of Devin

 Hey all, sorry it has been quite awhile since i have posted, i have never enjoyed writing and sometimes i dread trying to express myself in this medium. So much has happened since the last time i posted so i figured now is the time to let you all know how amazing he is progressing.

 First of all i want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who participated in any way with his Birthday party. We had an absolute blast! I want to send out an extra thanks to Diane Forester for helping us put the whole party together with food and decorations, as well as my parents and the Joles for all they did as well. We had over 150 people show up and i was so blessed and a little overwhelmed to see so many people who have been praying and thinking about our little boy. All of you who keep care for him have a special place in our hearts. We received so many gifts that we still haven't even opened them all yet as to prolong the celebration.

 This is Ron, and his family owned the Foster home Devin lived in for 2 months. it was fantastic seeing him again and this time under better circumstances.

 The day after his Birthday party we celebrated Devin's dedication at our church Neighborhood Christian Fellowship in a way that was very unique to Devin. Our Pastor Dave Johnson had us along with my parents join him on stage to have a little Q & A about what we have been through as well as a prayer over his continued healing before he was dedicated. We were also blessed enough to have my best friend and Devin's Godmother Kaitlyn Joles there to be apart of the service and to present DEvin with his very first real bible. It was a day of joyful tears to say the least.

In the month since then we have have been working on getting him to walk(which he is getting close), going to more Dr.'s appointments(no surgery is scheduled yet)and waiting patiently for his attackers trial to start and therefore be over so we can move on with our lives having some peace. It was scheduled for the end of this month but is most likely being postponed till August maybe September.

 Lastly as some of you may know we have had an amazing nurse Velma working with Devin on a daily basis have really come to accept her as family. unfortunately this last friday was her last day and i want to take a second and really thank her for all she has done not only for Devin but for my whole family as well. She always went over and above what i expected from her and even prayed with him before his meals. On top of that she was also my daily therapist and always had open ears when i needed to talk or vent. Thank you again Velma, we love you dearly! As a special treat i am posting below a recent video of Devin walking between me and my mother:)



 Love to you all!
