Tues July 14, 2009

Busted! lol He was trying to stand to
walk and I told him to crawl. This is
the look he gave me. lol
Today was our first day at Out Patient Therapy. We are scheduled 9-12 Tues, Wed, and Fri. This therapy is a lot more intense than the therapy we had in the hospital. Blake did such a good job. I was a little concerned that he would be tired doing all 3 sessions back to back. Man is he a trooper-I was amazed that he lasted the whole session without one break. He did such a good job. He only threw one or two temper tantrums. That’s pretty good in my book. He is definitely 2. The OT and the PT have decided to work together for a while, to help get Blake crawling. We have a lot of work to do, and he is a smart lil guy. He has already figured out that he can scoot on his bottom to get around. This is a BAD habit and the therapists are not so happy. LOL. He has totally figured out ways to NOT use his right side. This is no good because it will make it harder to get him using his right side once he has movement back. So they are going to show him how to roll, crawl, and do the army crawl. They don’t want him walking just yet. He is still too unstable. Explaining this to a 2 year old is impossible. :) He is determined to get up and walk, somehow I have to figure out a way to just have him stand, and they also said if he insists on walking to let him hold on to something and walk around it. This has become my greatest challenge. He is doing so much better than expected. I still am in shock that 2 weeks ago this wasn’t even a thought in my head. Life can sure throw one heck of a curve ball. :) I am just so thankful for all the support and love that surrounds us. I know that I get a lot of strength from watching how amazing Blake is, he is such a strong little guy-well not so little. :) I seriously think he is doing so amazing because of all the prayers and support of all our friends and family. I honestly can not thank you all enough for everything you have done and continue to do. You are all so amazing to me. I know I have said it before but thank you SO much!!
