Last Friday Riley had his 3 month check up with Dr. Swaboda. They were very impressed with him and couldn't believe how much he laughs and smiles and talks. It was his last visit for the study he was in and they concluded that the medicine is definatly doing him good. When they tested the response of the neurons in his hands he actually improved back up to his baseline from when he started 6 months ago. Dr. Swaboda decided that it would be very beneficall to keep him on the meds. After his check up with her he had his bone scan which also showed improvement. Most of these kids have bone degeneration in their spines and hips because they aren't able to bare weight on their body. Riley's is holding strong and the bones are continuing to develope. We are so proud of all the progress he makes even if it's little. During clinic Tabitha's mom, Monica, came down to see Riley. She took this cute picture of him laughing with Dr. Swaboda.

This is great news and I am so glad to hear that he can stay on this medicine after his study involvement has been completed. Diana was just telling me how adorable Riley was when she got to spend time with you guys during the Christmas season.
yay, Riley!!! I'm glad the meds are helping. Look at him flirting with that doctor...such a ladies man!
I am shocked every time I see a new picture of Riley - I can't believe how big he is getting! He has lost his baby face, he's little boy now!
So glad to hear he's doing well!
Congrats! That is such good news! I love that big smile on his face! Yeah for progression!
