July 19, 2020 "Beefed up AFOs"

Rayden's orthodist, Bob, placed these carbon fiber rods on the back of his AFO's to prevent him from leaning forward. If you look closely at the picture you can see where his AFO's are bent and almost broken because he is leaning forward so much. This is a temporary fix until he gets his replacement pair that will have more support and then ultimately a new kind all together.

July 12, 2020 "First boat ride"

Rayden has always been fascinated with boats. His favorite store is Cabelas because he can get in every single boat and pretend to drive it around. Gerome Heath (Uncle G) got Rayden a life jacket when he turned 4 years old in hopes to take him for a ride on his boat. That year was filled with surgeries, casts, homebound, and intense therapy. It is finally safe to take him on a boat ride and Rayden could not be happier! Watching how much he enjoyed his time on the boat was absolutely priceless. His body was overflowing with excitement. His eyes filled with joy. His laughter was contagious as his smile stretched from ear to ear. He kept screaming, "This is sooo much fun!" and "It's as fast as a jet engine!"

Second boat ride!
