Some Encouraging News
This week has been a great week for Sebastian. He is showing marked improvement in all of his therapy sessions. He has almost achieved all of the goals set forth by the Speech and Occupational Therapist. The Physical therapist is very pleased with his progress. She has even mentioned that we will most likely be able to reduce his physical therapy to once a week by the beginning of next month.
Sebastian is feeding himself with his right and left hands. He is beginning to gesture with both hands. He has begun to say Dada and Mama. The sensitivity loss to his right side appears to be dissipating. He is crawling more and more on his hands and knees. There is less Commando Crawling.
Sebastian is able to climb into Austin's "Naughty Chair" and sit down. He has been feeding himself finger foods and isn't really too into the puree foods. This I've been told is to be expected.
The Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapist believe that we will be done with their sessions in the near future. We don't know exact dates yet but we're probably won't be doing the full 40 sessions originally planned.
All in all Sebastian's recovery appears to be almost complete.
Our next steps will be to continue helping him catch up with his sister. He's almost there. Maybe a week or two behind her. And we will need to watch Sebastian for any behavioral or possible learning disabilities. Most of this won't become apparent until he reaches school and by then we will be able to take advantage of any special programs offered through the Schools and various Government offices. I am hopeful that Sebastian is almost done recovering and will soon be done healing his physical wounds. We have been blessed with such a sweet and funny little boy. Not to mention his equally comedic and adorable brother and sister. Life is beginning to resemble our old normal routine, except that we still have the CPS case to contend with and restrictions holding us back.
I'm not going to dwell on that now. Weldon and I have our kids and they all appear to be healthy and happy. And that's what we are going to focus on right now. Happy, healthy babies who love to laugh and to make us laugh.
