Owen had a Great day today! He felt good all day and even was walking some all by himself!!! He was also so excited because he got to talk to his teachers and school friends via Skype. It was so sweet, he actually got a little choked up when he first saw them all this morning and they were saying they missed him. He is such an emotional little guy (must take after his mama). He loved seeing them all on the screen and couldn’t stop talking about it the rest of the day. He goes to such an amazing daycare (pre-school). They are so caring and love him so much. He kept telling me that he is going to get better so that he can go back to school.
The Physical Therapist also came today. He was doing so good, she didn’t even have to do much. Owen was teaching her how to play Bunco, and how to make butterfly soup. I told her that today was her last day. He is really doing much better and the things that she has him do are already things that we have him working on. So, if he does need to get more therapy, I think we are going to take him to Children’s hospital therapists who are more equipped to work with kids. Our therapist was super nice, but she doesn’t work with kids that often, and I think she had a little bit of a rough time coming up with things to challenge him. The one that he had in the hospital was much better at creatively getting him to do things without him thinking about it. There is something to say about being good with working with kids. You have to have a whole different approach to make it beneficial.
We found out today that his procedure next Wednesday is going to be first thing in the morning. This is such great news because he has to fast for 8 hours prior, and if they would have made him wait until the middle of the day, I don’t think this little steroid boy could have made it. He is so fixated on food, that as soon as he is done eating he asks how long he has to wait before he can have more. He is most likely going to be able to tell time by the end of these.
