We first had serious enough questions about Doug's balance at Christmas time. Seeing him playing with all the other kids his age is what made us first seriously wonder if something was wrong. This year, we are reminded of those questions with every family get together. It was at a family gathering that we were encouraged to "trust our instincts" and book him an appointment.
It has been a mixture of emotions this holiday season with the "ups" of the season, and the "downs" of remembering.
I'm not looking forward to February. I fly out on a buisness trips for 3 weeks. I leave on Feb 3rd - the "first anniversary" of the day our world turned completely upside down. It is going to be a very difficult time emotionally - particularly for Allison. Pray for strength and encouragement for her.
