He went to Park City to meet the rest of Brontay's family on New Year's Eve and that went really well! He loves them all and seemed to be accepted in return.
Real life is a challenge for both Alec and Brontay. Alec relearning to walk, drive, and just live, and Brontay learning to live with diabetes and adjust to that. It seems overwhelming to me just thinking about it, but they both just take it in stride. I'm so proud of them! Alec is really the most frustrated at this point about all the weight loss. He is pretty thin, but it will come back, and he will start rebuilding muscle. He won't use his wheelchair AT ALL now and is determined to use the crutches for everything. He has fallen a few times, but just gets right back up and moves ahead. He decided today that he was ready to go back home. I know he can do it, it just scares me to not have him here where I can help. He feels like he needs to push himself to move forward and part of that is learning to live on his own again and do things for himself. I made him promise he will always answer phone calls and will not be stubborn if it's just too much.
Today he was also able to baptize his little sister Kennedy. He was supposed to do that 3 days after the accident happened and she wanted to wait until he could. It was a pretty awesome experience! His brother Landon held him while he held Kennedy. It went really great! I love my son and am so beyond proud of him! Please keep praying, we need them! Love you all!
