Hello all!
Been a little bit since my last Sammie Blog! I apologize but we have been super busy like everyone else on the planet =)
Sammie is doing great! Preschool is going wonderfully! He just finished a weeks vacation..that I think he enjoyed! I didn't have vacastion so we didn't get real crazy but did enjoy some down time while it lasted! He has had 2 parent teacher conferences and his teachers and therapists are as pleased with him as we are =) He is continuously making gains in the right direction! He is still working on walking/standing..he loves to be on his feet but still needs to be supported. He's doing pretty good in his gait trainer and loves to hold on and walk around! He also brings his leg up when in front of stairs, he steps up on the stair, and with as much weight as he can he'll go up the stair! Pretty impressive! He has had CME therapy twice at school! It stands for Cuevas Medek Exercise Therapy. Designed by a Venezualian man named Ramon Cuevas in the 1970's! If you google it you'll find videos! I'll try to post the one of Sammie on here! But just in case check out other videos! He has been using PECs at school with some success. He comes home with all sorts of fabulous art projects! I'm trying to make sure I don't save all of them! haha
Darby is back and we're all so happy about that! She stayed with her mom for a few months but decided to return and we have all enjoyed spending more time with her! Sammie loves her so much and she is so wonderful with him =) She has really been helping us out by watching Sammie here and there between work and school! She is working on training her Geniue Pigs (sp??!) If you have any suggestions let me know and I'll pass them on!
Sammie went skiing at White Face a couple of weeks ago! The whole preschool was invited to go and they have some adaptive skis that Sammie used with the assistance of the adaptive ski instructors!! How exciting! He didn't like the ride up but seemed to enjoy the ride down! I hope he learns to love it cause I do and so does Darby!
All of his recent appointments have gone well which makes us all very happy! He is no longer drinking pediasure =) we do have a weight check coming up but he has been eating like a little piglet so I'm not worried!
