Time to say Bye Bye...

We will be losing Connor's current physical therapist next week. He has been seeing Connor twice a week for about a year now.

Connor simply adores Darren. If you even mention his name he goes crawling into the living room to look for him and quietly sits by the door to wait for him.

I know he does not understand that we will be losing him but we are trying to explain that Darren has to go bye bye and we will start going to the hospital for out patient services. I am sure once we get to the new therapists office he wont care. They have toys, what can be better than that.

I just feel so bad that Darren will not be able to see Connor actually walk across the room. He is the one that got Connor this far in the first place.

When he started seeing Connor last year in April, he categorized him at being at a 4-5 month level physically. He has since taught him to roll, crawl, pull up and now take steps. He is now at a 11-12 month level physically. WOW, that is amazing to me in less than a year to get him so far. Now if we can get him to a 22 month level all will be perfect.

Connor will be seeing his new therapist as long as the insurance allows which is 20 sessions. Once we expire those, we will go back to the Regional Center and cross our fingers that we will be able to get back Darren.

I wish I could write the state of California a letter stating how horrible I think there budget cuts are and that they should have re-thought where to make the cuts. This has been such a long process for us setting up three therapies through the insurance just to have the regional center pick him up once again after insurance is up.

Oh well, what ever is best for my son is what I am going to do.

Wow, what a difference....

January 2010
Early April 2008

It is absolutely amazing what a difference almost two years makes in a growing child. Not only has he changed physically, he is also changing mentally. C is becoming very curious and as he begins to move more and become more comfortable with standing and the attempts to walk, he discovers his new ability to do things like annoy his mommy and daddy by pushing the page button on the telephone or turning up the volume on the television to ear plugging loud.

I just cant believe he will soon be two. I am hoping for this year to be even more of a growing experience for all of us. I am positive he will be walking, talking and just making all around progress this year.

We will soon be starting nearly 7-9 hours a week of therapies for C. This will be a time adjusting experience for us all along with the excitement of what he will learn next.

I am at a loss as to what to do for his second party so we are leaning towards a family gathering. He will probably appreciate that more than anything else considering he just truly loves his family.

A new year, a new virus

It seems as though Connor and I are trapped in virus land. As soon as one of us gets better, boom, one of us is sick again and quickly passes it on. Some how Eric has managed to stay virus free.

This one is a bad one. Connor has had a bad poopy virus for almost a week now. The doctor wants us to come back if his bodily functions are not under control by Friday. My son has NEVER had a diaper rash and well, we now have our first. I wish I could get one instead of him. He is miserable, crying and uncomfortable. Lets hope this virus ends the trend of virus passing. I too have this poopy virus and it SUCKS.
