Weekly Update -- 14 - 20 April 2008

Yay, I'm 67 weeks old today!

Masinja had his second PT appointment with his new therapist Kate this week. Kate had given us exercises to do with him the last time we went and T.M.M. had been trying to work with him over the last 3 weeks, but cooperation is not in his vocabulary yet. Masinja worked quite well for Kate though. She was able to get him to pull himself up to a standing position several times using different techniques. He had been pulling himself up to a standing position at home but not as frequently as he should. Kate also got him to "cruise" 5 steps to the left and to the right. By the time his session was over, he was pulling himself up on everything he could without any assistance. Masinja has been doing a great job at home ever since. Now he pulls himself up on the couch and the coffee table and tries to walk all the way around the coffee table. He has really gotten the hang of it and seems eager to start walking. I'm not so sure T.M.M. and I are quite ready for that yet though!

Masinja has his 15 month Well Baby Exam on Monday. He will get some of his immunizations, as well as bloodwork done. He also is scheduled for an EEG that afternoon. Well, let you know how it all turns out.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.
