OT

We had our OT eval last week. It went pretty good. She said she can see the difference between his left and right. More noticeable when he is eating. He doesn't use his left hand to eat and if he does, he passes whatever he has in his left hand over to his right and then eats. It seems like more work to do it this way, but its what he does! Oh well. She suggested splinting his right hand so that he is forced to use his left and I wasn't to thrilled with that idea. I am afraid if we do that then he won't use his right hand at all anymore either! That seems silly to me. Plus, its so subtle, its not like he doesn't use it at all! Anyway, we are going to be working on it for a bit.

In other news...I have made the "nursing judgement" decision to take Bryson off his antibiotics. He was getting a dose everyday to help protect him since he can't do it himself. I figure its May now, so lets see what happens! Hopefully I don't end up kicking myself like I did a few months ago when I did this and ended up with one sick baby! I think this time of year is pretty calm so we will see how he does!! The Immunologist said if I felt like it was a good time to try him off it I could do it, but he would like to wait until after we do his labs in June. What's a few weeks?? Keep your fingers and toes crossed that it goes well for him. I just have a feeling that his levels have gone up, he has done so well!!

Connor just turned 7 yesterday. I can't believe it!!! My baby is 7!! He is such a sweet little boy, so sensitive and he just adores his brother. He just wants to protect him all the time. Its precious. I am so proud of him. He is growing up so fast, now I know what it means when people say it goes by "in the blink of an eye." This is so very true. I love it when I look in the rear view mirror of my car and see the two of them holding hands. Usually Bryson is sleeping and Connor is just looking out the window holding his brothers hand. Its so sweet. Its moments like that that are the best part of being a mom.
