Five years on...

Last Friday our boy Kye turned five years old. It felt like five minutes ago I was sitting day in and day out next to his humidicrib. In a blink of an eye, our tiny baby is now a five year old with a huge personality.

I remember the conversation with the specialist when Kye was born that it would take at least five years for him to catch up in all areas of his life - physically and mentally. I always kept this in the back of mind especially when he took his first step to walk at 23 months. In just the past few months, Kye's life has fallen into place. He can now write his name, he is starting to read and his height has shot up like a beanstalk. He still has no body fat (he use to turn purple in the water up until last year!) and he is still tiny in features.

When Kye was born, it was so hard to visualise the future ahead. However, I tried everyday to be positive and know that it was all going to be ok. I am so grateful that we are through the dark tunnel of uncertainty and on the road to developing a great life for Kye.
