Monday & Tuesday Update

On Monday, Kristen & Kali came to visit.  Dylan did about 40 minutes in his stander, but was either tired or too excited by the company to do any longer~ he also went in the stander later than usual.  He also got a long bath & massage. We read books in the evening~ Dylan & Hope sat together for the reading, co cute :)

On Tuesday, Dylan went back to school from Xmas break.  He bit Miss Jill, the aid.  Just like last time he bit her, by evening it was clear Dylan was sick.  He is being kept home from school today, Wednesday, due to a croupy sounding cough.. Hope has the same cough :(  On Tuesday, after his nap, Dylan did a solid hour in his stander.  He played with his slinky as well as one of the larger squishy balls (the one with the short rubber "hairs").  I keep forgetting to do his splints & am going to make sure that along with using the stander, this becomes a top priority.

Sunday Update

Dylan rocked his hour out in his stander.  He was allowed to watch "Rachel Ray" to keep him motivated.  He played with his slinky and even played with a musical caterpillar for a while.  He got a bath and a massage in the morning as well.

After his nap, Dylan played with the Sparkabilities app.  We worked on watching a few of the shape movies.  While he watched and enjoyed them, he does not appear to be able to differentiate between the shapes yet.  He seems to just guess.  Two dimensional objects are the toughest for cvi kids to interpret, and Dylan is no exception. It is something we will continue to work on.  He is doing well with voluntarily naming colors (ie "Mommy is wearing red").

Uncle Sean came and played with Dylan in the evening. Dylan did a record 58 squats.  He also rolled and moved a lot for his Uncle Sean.  They had fun playing the "And then" game as well.

ARGH~ I forgot to get Dylan's elbow splint on him!!!  He is due to get it on his left arm today (Monday).
