Wednesday.. Day 3

WOW! thats what we have to say for today.
Tristan did AMAZING!!
Today he did not cry for almost the first 2 hours... which is great, hes getting used to the routine, to Holly, and to all the stretching. Because the past few days he has been crying within the first 10 minutes... sooo that made me smile..
Also, Holly asked us today to kinda "stay outta the way" . To stay out of eyeview of Tristan. We learned today that Tristan does SOOOoOOO much better when he cant see us. I was either hiding in the corner, or outside the window. And it was hard to get a good picture through a window.. sooo no new pics today.
He wore the suit again, and did really good. Did some playing on the big ball again, and lots of tummy time and sitting.
The best part of today though was when Tristan shortly after he came out of the suit and was sitting on the floor with his legs stretched out in front of him. His aide today was Karla, and she knew just how to entertain Tristan. While he was sitting she was throwing these suction cup balls onto the big mirror in front of Tristan and he thought that was sooo funny. Especially if the balls didnt stick and would fall off. While he was laughing so hard he would fall forward with his head and his trunk.. then would use his arms to push himself back up in the sitting position. He did this over and over. Which is AWESOME.. because he really does not do that at home. He can, but not as much or that well. Sooo that was a happy tear moment to see him do that. The littlest activities that we take advantage of everyday are big milestones for Tristan.
So today so far was the best day he has had at Euro-peds.
Once again, thank you to EVERYONE who has helped us get here, and for all the prayers, things are going great. Cant wait to see how he will be at the end of this therapy.
Also, found out that we get a hour long excercise/therapy program to take home, that must be done everyday, that helps him keep what he has gained, and to help him gain more.
We also met another family today, who has been to Euro-peds NUMEROUS times, and they say its the best thing that ever happened to their grand-daughter. They have gone to other intensive therapy places, and think that Euro-Peds is the best. Also found out about a couple other options to look into, to help Tristan down the road. It always nice to talk to other families who are in the same boat... because I really do not know any!
Tristan is taking a nap now, and when he wakes up tonight is our "free dinner" at Olive Garden that Mark from Olive Garden on Miller Lane in Dayton set up for us to enjoy up here. YEA!!
Hoping tomorrow goes just as well!
Also, change of plans, we originally decided that we were going to come home this weekend, but have since decided not too. Putting Tristan on a 4 hour car ride right after therapy just seems like it would be too much, and traffic on a friday evening back to Dayton does not sound fun. Sooo daddy ( Chris ) is coming up here friday afternoon to spend the weekend with us! Soo we will see everyone when we get back to the Dayton area, late NEXT friday!
ALSO<> FINALLY GOT A VIDEO UPLOADED LATE LAST NIGHT< BE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH TRISTAN IN ACTION IN THEIR WALKER!!
