Hello all. I want to take a minute to thank all of you for your generous donations toward Nick's dream bike! I will keep you posted on the status!
Well, no news is good news right? Things are swimming along. In recent weeks Nick had to fight off a skin infection from the surgery and the irritation of his splint. Then he developed a rash from the bandages. Seems he is allergic to an adhesive in bandaids. Who knew? Now that that's cleared up he is ready for the pool again! Good thing since it's been so HOT and humid! School is starting back up soon....we hope. Nick goes to a state funded special education pre-school and I have yet to hear anything as to when or if we are opening on time or at all. Normally by this time of year I have received a notice of the open house and bus schedule. I have seen nothing as yet. Last year we lost 10% of our funding. We will see what happens this year. In the meantime...we wait.
Occupational therapy has been going well. In 6 weeks, Nick has gone from having to be reminded to use his right hand to using it automatically. It has also desensitized immensely! 6 Weeks ago you could barely touch his fingers. Now he is picking up marbles off of the floor using his thumb. HUGE progress. He hasn't had use of his right hand in 4 years so we are very excited about the results. Left hand work will begin this winter.
Thanks again to all of you!!
With Love and Gratitude...
