My heart is so sad right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living only a few blocks from the river, we have moved my entire studio/office to our upper level.  We were waiting on the river to go down a couple of feet before moving it back down.  I'm thinking that time will come sometime today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Until then, Tak Photography will remain closed.

After the party, whoo nelly, it came on full force.  Fever, chills, the works!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We made it to church on Sunday yet by the time we arrived home me and the couch were best friends.  Unfortunately my Keyanna started the "I'm not feeling too well" feelings and took up the other 1/2 of the couch.  She's longer than I remember!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday morning Keyanna woke up good as new ... me ... not so much.  This thing has wiped me out something fierce!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, again, I apologize to the two people who had to be canceled!  I'll call for rescheduling very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to take it easy today and then by tomorrow be back to business!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being sick is not fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought about posting a picture of what I look like right now -- this is a photo blog after all.

He didn't have the muscle control.  A trip to our pediatricians office got us an appointment with a Chicago Neurologist with an early diagnosis of Muscular Dystrophy.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;The catch ... the soonest we could get into the Neurologist ... three months.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Oh, were those three LONG months.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Our wonderful, wonderful Neurologist (when the day finally arrived) took one look at our son and said, "No, I think it's Hypotonia."  I had no idea what this was but I'd take anything over Muscular Dystrophy!  I grew up watching the Jerry Lewis telethons during Labor Day weekend.  I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;knew&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt; what MD was!  Dr. Swisher said that while we have some major work in our future he thought Nathan would be "caught up" with his peers sometime by his 10th birthday.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major work did follow.  Nathan had physical therapy three days a week for many years.  In fact, part of his therapy was riding a horse.  He'll never remember but he had a great time on Dude!!  He graduated out of the program at 3 years old with caution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;It's estimated that Nathan is now 25% or so behind his peers.  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;Something that doesn't bother him in the least!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;He's our miracle boy.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His name Nathan Paul means God's little Gift.&lt;/span&gt;
