Cooper had a really good day today. We decided not to do the eye exam because we were so unsure of who ordered it, the test itself, and the fact he had one a short time ago. Come to find out, after we did some checking, he isn't suppose to get it for another 6 months anyways.
 
He ate much better today. He had some apple sauce, ice cream, and grilled cheese. We are making progress!
 
Therapies were amazing today! He got his new AFO's during PT and used his left hand to play with a toy in OT! He enjoyed speech, as always. He said "ball" several times. Today I was patting his bottom and saying "butt." Cooper looked up at us and as clear as could be repeated it. Then he would point to his. I guess he's met another speech goal: identifying new body parts.
 
Cooper stood alone, not holding on to anything, for 5 seconds. This may not sound like long, but it is huge progress for him. He later tried to take a step on his own, but fell down on the first try. At least he's showing more interest.
 
Chemo was real quick today: a three-minute push. It took longer to check his weight and height, access him, draw blood, and de-access him than it took to do the treatment today.

His therapies start early in the morning so I'm hoping for a good night!
