The first time Nathan walks

This was the first time Nathan walked since 10/2/06. It still gets me to watch it.

Video of the first time Nathan stood.

This is the first time Nathan stood. It was an amazing day. Wish I could have shared these sooner.

Just had to share

Hard to believe that any one gets excited about weight gain but I am. Not about myself of course but Nathan! We talked the other day and he's joined a gym. He told me he weighs 10 lbs. more than he did before the accident. That is so cool. He was thin before the accident and then after he was really thin. I'm so happy to hear he's putting a little meat on those bones.

I just had to share. That makes me really happy!!!

Hope you are all well. Things are great here.

Love to you all! The Mellon's

Happy 1 Year Birthday!

I've been sitting tonight reading the blog of the past year and thinking about everything that has gone on. Some ask if it seems like it's been a long year or a short year. I think what amazes me it how far Nathan has come in just a year. One year ago tonight at 10:10 Pacific time when we received that phone call telling us that they would do what they could to keep him alive until we got there, we couldn't even begin to imagine a year down the road. Now so much has happened and Nathan has come so far. it's truly a miracle.

Nathan is doing well and is back at school. He still has some things that give him a little trouble but that doesn't keep him down. I think he's amazing. Happy Birthday Nathan!

Reading the blog reminds me of all the wonderful things you all did for us. We continue to feel your blessing and generosity. I just wanted to say Thank You, one more time. We are truly blessed to have the wonderful family and friends that we do.

I just found out that now I can post the videos I took when Nathan was first walking and such. So, I'll spend some time getting those added to the blog. They're kind of neat to look at.

I hope this finds you all well and please know that we keep you all in our hearts and prayers. We couldn't have made it through this year without you.

Love you all, The Mellon's
