Day 9

Hello.
Sorry so late tonight, been busy packing up everything! We are pretty much loaded up now, and ready to go! Tristan has therapy from 12:30-4:30 tomrw ( friday ) so it will be late before we get home!
Tristan did okay today. He had a rough day. He has been doing lots of "startling" reflex when he is laying on his back. When he does this he does the loud panic cry, and his arms fling in close to his face, causes him to rip his glasses off, and scratch himself, or even bite his finger like he did today. This is not new, he does do this at home sometimes, just not near as long. I just have to hold his arms down and do lots of that mommy comforting, and he will calm down. It just takes awhile. Other than that he did really good.
He got to play with Karla again today, and the 2 new hires, which the more girls for Tristan the better! :o) Once again he did alot of neck and trunk work. He is doing great with his head control. Still not like we would "want" it to be, but hes doing great! Holly keeps saying that after we get home, and he gets in routine, and his muscles rest, that is when we will see our best results.. soo hoping thats true!
He got to ride his bike again today, his favorite and was just happy as ever. I think today is the most tired he has been also. He is just getting run down with everything, so going home will be great for him also!
Just wanted to thank everyone for checking in on him/us. We made it through this trip, and hoping to do another trip up here between February / March. Just depends on his money situation, and our schedule in general.
Tristan does start preschool on Tuesday when we get back, so this has been a life changing weeks for us. With the therapy and now entering the "school" age... Our life is going to be different now, no more late nights and sleeping till noon. We will have this home excersie to do with him everyday for about an hour, and I could go on and on! I will post about his last day either late tmrow night or sometime Saturday. We are just ready to come home and REST!

  2. Christa, It's Fran Miller. My mom was in 406 at Brookhaven and I work at NV. Looks like he's had a great visit to Mich. Wouldn't it be nice if Tristan and all kids could get as much therapy as they could handle? Mom is back at Bhaven in rehab now (long story) so I'll look you up and hear all about it.
