Movin' On Up!

Elias has become quite mobile these days! He has mastered quadruped (on all fours) crawling and is quite fast at it!

He also enjoys a stroll holding hands through the common hallways of the schoolhouse. Bravery has inspired him to "let go" and try to walk/run unassisted. Elias also discovered how to climb up stairs!

All this mobility granted Elias an "upgrade" of his sleeping quarters (although he still spends 1/2 the night in Mama and daddy's bed.) His parents were quite fearful of the discovery of climbing and ending up on the floor with some sort of bleed. So they got him a bed that lowers all the way to the ground.

In other news, we are quite pleased what has been going down in Washington. Finally families with hemophilia will not be plagued with not being covered due to preexisting conditions or meeting their cap before high school (the cost of factor is just not coming down!) We are breathing a little easier these days with port placement and the start of prophylaxis treatment on the near horizon. Thank you Barrack #1 for the start of a little healthcare reform!
