Micah loves the pool. This picture was made one day earlier in the summer. He has no fear. The first couple of times we took him to the pool he was a little unsure, but then he decided there was nothing to fear! The arm "swimmies" that you see in this picture bit the dust a long time ago. We had to go to a "body suit" with floatation devices built in. It zips up the back so that he can't get out of it on his on. (Yeah, the little brave one thinks he can swim so he started taking his swimmies off - in the deep end!) I don't think that I have ever known a child that wanted to swim so badly! We have made progress. He does know now to close his mouth and not to swallow so much pool water. At the beginning of summer we would come home from the pool and his belly would be distended from swallowing so much water!
We are so thankful that Micah is brave - surgery is only a little over 2 weeks away!
