I am happy to say that all the children are doing extremely well.
Ava settled in nicely right from the start and we loved her instantly. She has a very outgoing personality and never lets her diabetes get the best of her. We allowed her to become part of a local swim team and she also has been part of the junior track team at her school. She gets along well with the other children and is always trying to help them and make sure they are getting along with each other. She has also remained in touch with her sister and has also visted her a few times.
Caius has been doing much better than when we first adopted him. Keegan was really excited to be getting a brother his age and has helped Caius overcome his shyness some. The two have become really close to each other and are practically inseperable. I definately have to say that Keegan is the one he trusts most, even though he has opened up to the rest of the family as well. We also got him a puppy shortly after we adopted him, hoping it would help some. He named it Rocky. Jakob has taken Caius and Keegan camping many times, and they both enjoy it.
Belle has been doing well also. She regularly goes to physical therapy for her paralysis once a month and is also enrolled in program that helps teach kids that are paralized and in wheelchairs how to do things that are difficult for them. Though she doesn't like the fact that she will always be in a wheelchair, she never lets it get the best of her and is always trying to out-do herself. She has become quite the artist, moving from finger painting to a paint brush and has won several art contests at her school.
Dorian is such a joy to have in our house. He always makes us smile and encourages us without meaning to. He has grown rapidly in the past two years and has learned so much. I don't think he even realizes he is missing part of his arm because it has been like that since he was so young, and he always finds ways to do anything without it. Jakob has talked of possibly getting a prosthetic arm for him when he gets older.
Thanks so much for these amazing children!
