new years

This site is intended to follow the adventures of our Son Paxson TK Linquist born perfectly healthy on 12/3/2007 in Anchorage, Alaska. Two weeks later he contracted encephalitis and spent the next 3 weeks hospitalized where we almost lost him. Our little guy is a fighter and he survived but his battle left him with a significant brain injury that would alter the course of life. He has since been diagnosed with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy but after the initial review of his MRI the doctors told us they couldn't predict his development but it was possible that he wouldn't develop to be more than a human vegetable (thats our words, I'm sure they said something more technical). Well, we are happy that Paxson is proving them wrong - this blog is a CELEBRATION of that. Here we cover all issues related to his CP, therapies, development, and awesome things he's experienced. We also talk a little about the rest of the family too :) Enjoy and leave us a comment if you thoughts or ideas!
