Jack had a great PT session this morning. It's usually the big things that get us excited, but today I noticed some subtle changes in Jack. Today he was leaning forward and using his walker properly. It was the first time it truly sunk in. I could see it registering on his little face...he smiled and laughed (which is RARE during a tough PT session) and it finally seemed to click for him. I can't wait to practice some more tomorrow. Things are going to change -- I can FEEL it (yes, I just referenced a Beck song, LOL).
On Monday we saw Jack's developmental pediatrician/Rehab doctor. She is an amazing doctor. She sort of ties everything together for us locally and loads us up with all the prescriptions for therapy and equipment. She's a good resource to have and I sort of just throw everything at her that's happened in recent months. I am glad to have her as part of our team.
This month has been beyond hectic. I am so glad tomorrow is February! We've truly had appointments every day of the month. We've also showed our house THIRTEEN times...that's 13 times I had to load the poor dog into the back of the van...that's 13 times I had to clean the house to a spotless condition, that's 13 times I had to drag Jack and the dog out of the house for 2 hours at a time. I am SO READY FOR THIS TO BE OVER!!!! Ahh, feels a bit better now that I've unloaded all of that. I cannot wait!
We're also trying to get the transition from Early Intervention (Jack's current therapies) to preschool and hospital therapy. Any which way we look at it we are going to be one busy family. Jack will most likely go to school in the mornings several days a week. Since he is getting botox he will need intensified therapy to maximize the benefits. So that means traveling to Middletown 4 or 5 times a week...on top of our usual doctor/specialist visits, trips to CHOP and school. I know we can do it. I know we have to do it! Luckily the intense therapy won't last forever and I know this is going to help Jack. Just somebody check in on us every now and then to make sure we know what day it is! LOL, just kidding!
Well, it's rather late for me to be on the internet and I still have toys to put away! I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for reading.
WOW it is a marathon! I hope your moving is going smoothly I can't imagine loading up 13 times over and over again! I can only imagine how it will be when we go after the bigger house we're eye balling LOL
