Todd's BIrthday

For Todd's Birthday this year he decided he wanted to become "Hang-gliding Certified". He took a trip to Utah to put in the necessary training hours. Coincidentally, this is the same extreme sport his Dad and Uncle were into years ago - I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I was sad to not be able to celebrate his birthday with him but he was really stoked to complete his training and enjoyed himself immensely. A big thanks to my parents who let him crash at their place while he was training!

Brief Synopsis

Dallin developed normally until about 18 months of age when his pediatrician labeled him as "failure to thrive". By the time Dallin was 3 he had lost his ability to talk and had developed several autistic-type traits. Our neurologist diagnosed him as having ASD at 3 years old. Dallin was diagnosed with suspected mitochondrial dysfunction when he was 8. It's been quite the roller coaster ride. There are still many dreams that haven't been fulfilled but we continue on the path to help Dallin reach his full potential. No matter what the future brings we love our boy completely.
