Holy Toledo! It has been such a long time since I have chatted with my friends here! I gotta tell you, I am a busy man. So much has happened! From baseball to BMX to learning to ice skate to changing schools..I don't know where to start! I am doing so great that my peeps can't keep up!
First Grade is a huge success story for me. I was going to a special ed class in a great school that was in another city a half an hour away because that was all that was available for me. My mom and the teachers and my whole team worked really hard to have me transferred to the school in my town - to the same school as my big brother! I am now in a regular First Grade class but I have an aide and am able to go to special ed during the day, too. I am still learning the ropes. Sometimes it is super hard for me to SIT and hang out and I want to go for walks and say hello to everyone. But I am trying! It's just so COOL that I have a chance to try. Isn't that amazing!

Another cool thing that has happened since we chatted last is that LOTS of kids with chromosome stuff have contacted us. Kids from all over the world who are like me in a lot of ways. Some even have super similar deletions! Wow! Mom got a call this week from the genetics department, my homies up at Stanford. Here's what Mom says: "We’ve talked with genetics and the case study done on Wyatt and kiddos with deletions extremely close to Wyatt’s is complete! It is an overwhelming feeling of hope. We are grateful to be able to help future children who are diagnosed. Those children and their families will be provided information that wasn’t originally available to us. We hope that it gives them comfort in knowing that they are not alone." Dude! I'm famous!! Is that cool or what!? Hopefully, Gammy can figure out how to add a link to the report on the website here, to pass along the important things that the genetics peeps have figured out about the effects of the deletion.
Gammy promises we will work on adding more to the site, I really want to continue to share my story so new friends can see how all the hard work I have done has really helped me grow and be the best ME I can be! Look for more news soon but in the meantime, give yourself a high five and have a happy holidays!
