Wow, what a fast, busy summer!  We had a wonderful time, between the Make a Wish trip to Florida in May, then we went down the shore for two half-week mini vacations in July and August, plus the rounds of barbeques, holidays, and general summer fun :)  Sara and I went to two anime conventions, one for the day nearby, and another was an overnight trip with fourteen of us in the group.  I've posted some pictures of them in the summer album, it was a lot of fun, and some of the costumes we saw were amazing!

Now it's fall, and back to the school year and schedules.  Billy had a gait analysis done (some pics of that in the summer album too) the end of August, and we see the ortho doctor on 10/16 to get the results.  We hope to see if there are any problems that are preventing Billy to walk his most efficiently, to help with his long distance endurance.  He has a hard time keeping up over distance, in heat, or on uneven surfaces.  Most of this is probably caused by weakened or absent muscles on his left side, but if anything else can be corrected to help him out it would be great.  If not, a wheelchair for distances may be in the future.  I know it was necessary at the theme parks in Florida this summer, and it helped him keep his energy for fun, rather than using it all up in a half hours walking... 

We also have our routine uro appointment coming up this month, but other than that, it looks like it's mostly quiet.  Time to enjoy the fall weather, and get back into the school and homework routines.
