Today has been the most amazing day in a long time. Since today was the day after Chemo we were prepared for a tired, fussy little boy. We had to wake him up earlier than usual because he had PT at 8:00. He worked very hard during this session. Then he had Speech at 9:00, and once again worked very hard. He had a break from 10-11. Normally we would let him nap, but he didn't act the least bit tired. He ate a little breakfast, played in the floor, and took a drive in his car. He feel asleep 10:55! When we got the gym and tried to wake him up he because pretty upset with us. We put him on the swing to calm him down and try to get him awake enough to get some OT in. They worked on his wheel chair and made some adjustments so it is now easier for Cooper to roll himself. He tried today and did a pretty good job. This last therapy ended at 12, which was lunch time. He ate a little bit of his grilled cheese and almost all of his pudding cup. This was progress. I guess the 10 minute nap he got before OT was enough because after lunch he was ready to play. At 1:15 we decided to make him take a nap. We knew if we waited too long, he may not want to go to bed. Even after his busy day, he only slept for 2 hours. He woke in a great mood, went for a walk, had dinner, played in the floor, played with the fish, took a bath, and is now in dreamland! Throughout the entire day, he has cried only when he was given his medicine and when we tried to wake him for his therapy session. Cooper also stood up on his own for the very first time since surgery! He was sitting in the floor and pulled himself up to the window seat! We are amazed at the wonderful day he has had. Tomorrow is Sunday and that means family day out! Let's hope he has another great day tomorrow!
Speech therapy turned into physical therapy. He found the slide and loved it. He actually started going down on his own.
Taking some steps!
He has never had any interest in bubbles until today. He would go down the slide and his therapist would blow bubbles when he got to the bottom for him to pop.
Playing in the floor.
Playing with the fish.
