Jon had a big "first" today. We've been practicing raising his arm and hand high enough that he can touch his ear lobes and today I put a spoon holder in Jon's hand and helped him with his first bite of food at supper. He took 3-4 more bites on his own with pretty good control of the spoon. Our informal occupational therapy is paying off! While he was sitting in a chair-his only activity for physical therapy- we tried stacking some blocks Carol had bought for him and he made a tower about 5 inches high! He also tried to write his name. He wanted to start to write in cursive but I suggested just printing. If he could have held the pen at the right angle it would have worked since the letter formation of his letters was right on. We are finally getting back to about where we were when we left Green Springs 2 months ago. The wound doctor is coming tomorrow and I'm anxious to see how the bed sore is progressing.
Hopefully we'll see more progress in the coming days...keep your fingers crossed!
Thanks for dropping by.

Awesome! Rock on Uncle J and keep up the good work!! :)
Forgot to mention that he is also off all antibiotics! He does seem to have a cold but it seems everyone has some version of the snuffles these days--not just you and youor mom...and me
