PT

Bryson met with his Physical Therapist today for the first time. She was very nice and had lots of advice for us. She is pretty sure that he will qualify for First Steps therapy. Kids generally have to be at least 50% delayed to qualify so I was pretty surprised by this. After doing her assesment and telling me what he should be doing and then actually seeing what he IS doing really was a shocker for me. I thought he was doing so well, but I guess with him being a premiee its just how it goes. Not to mention the first few months of the kids life he's been in and out of the hospital! She said we really need to work on his arm strength and he turns his feet the wrong way. He also isn't grasping like he should or rolling over. Those are the biggies, there were lots of smaller things as well, mostly upper body stuff. She was also pretty concerned about his legs. Whenever he stands upright his legs go purple, his arms also will get really mottled. I have noticed it and did mention it to his pediatrician a few weeks ago, but I promised the therapist I would call them and let them know she is concerned with this. I think it has gotten worse over the last few weeks. So I guess I will call this afternoon, I am sure its nothing major, we have checked out evey system there is to check! I will find out for sure if we qualify or not at the end of the week.

We did finally have Bryson Baptized. I was so relieved to finally be able to do that and have all of our family and friends aroud us on that day was great. For many of them it was their first time meeting our little man! We are so lucky and blessed to have the support that we do! Thanks so much to his wonderful Godparents, Ellie and Timmy. We love you both very much!

That's all for now!
