Week 3

Through 7-2-07

Miles is doing remarkably well. He's really gotten into a routine, and is mostly smiles and very talkative. He's figured out how to move quite a bit despite the cast.

Therapy last week went very well, and he worked hard for his therapists. Granted, the first ten minutes of therapy, we think he was just enjoying not being at home! Both his speech therapist and occupational therapist adapted to his position. Everyone at the therapy center was impressed with his wagon!

On Saturday, Lolo and Lola left to return to Ohio. Miles was a bit out of sorts and did have some moments... Clearly, he was used to having his grandparents around!

Sunday, Rachel and Ellie stopped by with their parents to pick up their wagon and a visit. Miles LOVED seeing the girls and had a fabulous visit. He was very talkative and quite impressed with their tumbling! After the visit, Miles took a nice, long nap.

Miles and I have been doing just fine on our own for this week. Daddy comes home for lunch, and he is five minutes away if there is an emergency. We have confidence that there will be no issues for the next week.

July 9 is cast off day. We can't wait. Any of you who have had a cast understand that after time, it builds up kind of a funk all its own. His cast is well decorated by stickers (we'll post a final photo before the cast comes off!). We hope that there is not a second cast. Depending on how Miles is healing, he may get a brace or a wedge for sleeping rather than a second cast. If we do need another cast, we'll have to decide on a color, or should Miles go with red again?
