Cliff completed TheraSuit last week!
We are AMAZED with his progress!
He accomplished all of the goals Lisa set for him and then some!
Three weeks ago, Cliff walked into The Therapy Place for TheraSuit in his walker.
Last Friday, he walked out of TheraSuit with his canes!
Cliff worked so hard for three weeks and his hard work has paid off!
Cliff’s body now moves in a different way, a good way!
He is so aware of his body mechanics now, it really is amazing!
He will point out when he is moving properly.
Cliff still needs to build confidence, but we are working hard on that!
We are praying that the Lord will give Cliff peace of mind and confidence so that he will be able to gain more independence!
Remember about a month ago when I shared this picture of Cliff standing with his canes all by himself?!

Look what Cliff is doing now:
This is nothing short of a miracle!
We are so so SO proud of Cliff, his hard work and dedication!
We also want to say a huge THANK YOU to Lisa who worked with Cliff over the past three weeks, who pushed him to his limit, who REALLY challenged him, who cheered him on when he wanted to give up and who fought back tears when Cliff was pushing through a difficult task, who had total confidence in Cliff’s abilities and helped make his dream of walking with his canes all by himself come true!
Of course we must stop to praise our awesome God!
God’s hands have been on Cliff since Cliff was born!
Watching Cliff is truly watching God perform a miracle.
We are so blessed to see God perform miracles right before out eyes through Cliff!
Thank you all for your prayers and support!
We are so blessed to have each and every one of you who cheer Cliff on, send the sweetest emails and pray for Cliff!
We read each and every comment, message to Cliff and they mean so much to him and us!
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
Psalm 77:14
Wow Cliff, I need to keep this video to cheer me on as I struggle with arthritis! You challenge me to walk more even tho’ I hurt and just want to sit. Thank you Cliff for being such a good example. May God bless you and your family.
I’m sitting here watching this video with my four year old son. He said, “Look mom! he is doing it all by himself!”
This is so amazing and I am so glad you are sharing this on your blog. Thank you <3
Way to go Cliff. You are amazing.

Cliff, you are one strong little man! You, mister, mister, are MY hero!!!!

As a therapist myself this is truly inspiring to see. I was once in peds and know the special person it takes to care for your babies and it looks like you have an amazing therapy staff working with him! Thanks for sharing his journey!
Clliff, I couldn’t be more proud of you and everytime I watch you walk with your canes my eyes fill with tears…”Happy tears”. I love you so much and you are just awesome. Keep up the good work and my praises go to God also. I;ll see you tomorrow morning as we welcome “Baby Hollis”. Hugs, Nonnie
That little red face and sweet smile when he finally Makes It!!!! is so precious…I just want to help him so badly like I want to help James when he is struggling! You are so blessed to have access to this therapy close to home. Mary Ellen has to drive to B’ham monthly! Our boys are Amazing IN EVERY WAY!! sUCH SWEET LITTLE BOYS!! Your Cliff is adorable and I want to see him walk independently one day. I can imagine the day when both James and Cliff WALK to meet each other!! God is still in the miracle making business.

Just wanted to say I donated to Cliff’s suit tuition! I love reading your blog. I wanted to comment on the actual post (i read through RSS feed on my google reader) but couldn’t find it once I came over the the site.
I love your posts, your creative spirit and the love you have for your children. Keep your faith strong!
