Things at home this week have been uneventful. Although, Dylan does seem more lovable, if that is even possible. He seems a little more expressive with showing that he is hungry/thirsty. Dylan loves cheese balls and before he would stand at the counter and look at the bag and reach for them, not grabbing them. Well, this week he grabbed the bag off the counter and opened the unsealed bag and helped himself. Not typical of him. He doesn't understand to put just one or two in his mouth though so I have to help him with that. He would just keep stuffing them in his mouth. I do find I am looking to see if there are any changes but I need to stop. I will drive myself crazy. Like all great things in life, it will come. And probably when I'm not looking. Isn't that usually when great things happen? When you lease expect it. Patience just is NOT my strong point.
We had Physical Therapy today, Thursday 10/28/2010. Lisa, Dylan's therapist, took some range of motion assessments on Dylan so that we will have information to compare to later. Lisa, as well as Kristen, our Occupational Therapist, are just as interested in Dylan's improvements as I am. But they will be able to note the changes from a point of view that is impartial. We all are excited to be a part of Dylan's journey.
The therapy session went well. Dylan did seem to tucker out sooner than usual. Dylan works hard for Lisa. Dr. Steenblock did tell us that the stem cells will make you tired so that could be they be the reason. Lisa has Dylan going up and down ramps, working with him to get his feet planted straight, as he now walks with his feet pointed inward. He is getting there. Lisa and Kristen know Dylan's rate of improvement as they have been seeing Dylan since March of 2009. One day at a time.
