I cam across it and I went back and just read as much as I could. my wife has a blog as well. blind mom.com that is actually how we found you. I noticed that you had referred people to our blog. I just have to tell you that when I read you last post it hit very close to home for me. Nicole had a brain injury caused by a bacteria that caused her to go into a coma. She has had a hard road. I remember helping her learn to walk again, and learn to do things that had seamed so easy before. As I read your words my heart melted. I can relate to you and your family in so many ways. I instantly fell in love with your son. What a little angel. I want you to know that I have been praying for you and your family. If anyone deserves a miracle it is you. Give your boy a big hug from Nicole and Brandon. If you ever need anything feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for the honesty of your blog posts and for sharing your story and your faith.Rassimo24https://www.blogger.com/profile/01174282941443311206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611856663576328123.post-62437781515712142242011-09-10T22:33:01.953-07:002011-09-10T22:33:01.953-07:00Words can't express how happy I was to see the...Words can't express how happy I was to see the pictures of him on the horse, especially with you and your dad.

I'm sure you could google it and I know they have a facebook page. Anyway, it is located in Rexburg, Idaho and they have done amazing things for my friend who was injured riding a bareback horse. His story is on there under our riders...but he was in a coma for 2 1/2 months and the doctors had given up on him ever waking up. I know it's a long ways away from where you are, but I would seriously be willing to let you stay with us even if you just wanted to come check it out.

I've commented before just so you know who is peeking in on you guys. I went to school with Zach, didnt know each other, but we went to the same school. I am in Vicki and Doug's ward as well. Anyway, I check in every so often and I have to say you are amazing and so is Dakota. Since I only look so often it is easier for me to see his progression I think. I honestly felt like crying when I saw that picture of you doing his exercises. He looks so strong and almost like he is just ready to take off. He is lucky to have you as his mom. You seem like an amazing person. Thanks for being such a shining example. I can learn a lot from you.Cristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698643846077564749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611856663576328123.post-36164716854364717172011-09-08T11:38:17.680-07:002011-09-08T11:38:17.680-07:00Those pictures of him riding truly are priceless. ...Those pictures of him riding truly are priceless.
