Friday was Orilus' 12th birthday! After school on Friday we took Orilus, Jackson, and two of Orilus' friends out for supper at Bugaboo Creek, where we met my mom...and had a GREAT time! The boys were SUPER entertaining...chatting, having thumb wars, opening gifts...what a good time we had! To think that at this time last year, Orilus was still at home recovering from a bone marrow transplant...and now, he is 12, and taller, and 71 pounds (a skinny muffin, but healthy), and not taking any medications...watching him open gifts Friday night, the miracle struck me all over again. Thank you, God, for our son! HE is the gift.
