Oscar can crawl!!!

Not that I had any doubt he could but it is still amazing! He has been army crawling for about a month and now crawls on his left knee and his right foot. It is adorable! I have been very inspired lately by a lady on Facebook who lengthened with Dr. Paley, over 20 inches!!! - which is what Oscar would need, if lengthening is possible. I'm hopeful that it is based on some of the cases I've seen. Lengthening would mean years and years of surgery and I'm worried about how we will pay for all the expenses associated with surgery, even if we can convince our insurance to pay for the lengthening. Every time he has lengthening, I will need to stay in Florida for four or five months for appointments and daily physical therapy. I have no idea how I will manage that along with my other children, one who is autistic and require multiply weekly appointments, and the other who needs weekly speech appointments for her lisp. Currently I take care of my children's appointments while my husband works. I guess I shouldn't worry yet until after Oscar's first appointment but, in typical mommy style, I worry for children's future. Right now I will rejoice in the milestones my son is meeting despite his difference. He is so happy each time he learns something new! I can't wait until he gets his first helper leg so he can walk!
