Hope everyone is doing well, We had the H1N1 flu go around our house a couple of weeks ago and Ari’s Dr. put her in the hospital for 2 days just to keep a close eye on her and give her an IV so she didn’t get dehydrated (which was a nightmare in itself, will definitely be going out of town if she ever has to go into the hospital again.) and then got an ear infection right after. But she is doing great now. She has been really working hard at her therapy sessions. Her OT has been putting her on her hands and knees and she is crawling across the matt with him helping balance and supports her. She doesn’t move her hands (YET) so he has to move them for her but she moves her legs. I have a video of her I am going to try and get posted on here. She also took 6 steps her grandma took her that day so we don’t have it on video.

In her vision therapy she is tracking things consistently now and she has been looking at the pictures on the computer. Her VT gave me an awesome website to go to http://www.northerngrid.org/ . It has shapes that go across the screen and you can pick different color combos and have the option to have noise when it goes across the screen. You can also set it to where the child has to click a button in order for the shape to go across the screen.

We finally got Ari’s stander they delivered it while she was in the hospital and they came back last Friday to adjust it to fit her. She is only able to tolerate standing in it for about 25- 30 minutes right now but that’s longer than I thought she would. She is also still getting speech therapy once a week and to get the KI Method and PT when we are able to. We haven’t been able to get to Jacksonville for IMT in a while but we are doing IMT and KI method on her at home also.

I posted some new pictures of the kids and as soon as I find the cord for the video camera I will post that as well. Hope you all have a good Thanksgiving .
