Yay, I'm 172 weeks old today!
Masinja didn't have Speech or OT this week due to a quarterly meeting. They try to rotate the meeting to a different day of the week each quarter so that the same patients aren't always missing therapy and this quarter the meeting was on a Tuesday. I did take him to the doctor this week though and it is now confirmed that Masinja has seasonal allergies. He is now on Zyrtec. Hopefully he will get some relief soon!!
Masinja had his 34th ECI session this week. We discussed the use of the picture schedule and how well it is working. We also decided to include additional pictures since the original ones have been working so well. Masinja's teacher also suggested doing more gross motor imitation with him at various times of the day such as between activities, as part of play, or as part of mealtime. In addition to this, she suggested alternating active play with quiet time. She feels this will help Masinja increase his attention span.
We participated in the March of Dimes walk again this year. We weren't able to participate last year because of severe thunderstorms. Thankfully this year it wasn't raining but it was cloudy, windy and really COLD!! Our friends Nick and Holly and their two little girls, and Patricia and her husband and their two little boys did the walk with us. We finished the entire 3 miles in just over an hour because it was so cold. It meant a lot to T.M. and I to be able to do the walk this year though because it is our way of honoring Maddie. The walk is held during the same week as the anniversary of her passing so that makes it even more meaningful for us. Of course we also do the walk in honor of Masinja and how far he has come!!
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.M.
