Home

Hello. We got home late Thursday afternoon and it took a little while to get adjusted. We are so glad to be home. Brody requires medication every three hours around the clock, so it is a little like having a newborn again. He slept a lot this weekend, but today he seemed to get back into somewhat of a routine. We were able to take him to church this morning and it was really good to see people again. We follow up with his pediatrician tomorrow. We have a nurse coming out twice a week to check on him and we will be setting up a heavy schedule of therapy. Physical, Occupational, and Speech will be helping him recover. He has walking braces now and needs help standing and walking. He can stand for a couple of seconds but then falls down. He can walk while hanging on to hands, sort of like when he was learning to walk. In his mind, he can do it, but then he falls so he needs to be watched closely. He still vomits when eating, so we need to work on that with Speech. We are thickening his liquids and he is doing really well with that. Other than that, he is acting like a typical 2 year old and testing his limits. We tell him "no" and he proceeds to do it again. Tonight, he was kicking kitty. Good times...
