Jubilant Progress of our Special Child

“He’ll progress toward retrogression…” such was neuro-pediatrician's lamentable diagnosis grievous… torturous life sentence! What a woeful condemnation... ...yet marvelous life’s persistence our special child should never miss while enjoying love’s wondrous bliss. Though he is epileptic midst gestures obviously spastic his disposition --- jubilant radiates cheerfully triumphant. With thanksgiving gesture’s delight marking faith of ascending height he shows notable progress-might in conversation endeavor along comprehension fervor revealing wondrous miracles defying doubtful manacles. Now, as a handsome fourteen-year old* lad he praises the Lord Who blesses in his wheel-chair’s trip, daily glad to victory,** he progresses. *He was born on April 28, 2009 **1Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
