Fun and Asthma

Junior has continued to do great with getting up earlier and making it through all his regular activities and even going for a walk.  He is wiped out by early evening but I am so happy to be getting back on a better schedule.  Hopefully we are leaving behind the winter illnesses.  His asthma did kick in Friday afternoon and made for a tough remainder of his day but that is part of life this time of year.

Enjoying the great outdoors.

Music time while in his stander(looking very sleepy, this was Friday when the weather was changing)

Visiting with Abby

 More eggs for the tree in his room.  These are shaving cream eggs.  So much fun and easy.  We cut egg shapes out of poster board then put shaving cream in a little tub and drizzled food coloring over it.  Pressed the eggs into the shaving cream then let them dry.  As the dry most of the shaving cream evaporates and you are just left with the color.  I did wipe them off this morning with a paper towel to be sure all the shaving cream was gone. 

It was hair cut time today.  Look at that grin, this boy thinks getting a haircut is sooooo much fun.  

 Brace update:  He is doing awesome with his night splints now.  He is up to 8-9 hours in his braces overnight which means he has met/exceeded his goal.  As you can see in the pic we did have to adjust things a bit for him.  Junior has chronic low platelets from his seizure meds and no matter how perfect a brace fits it will eventually leave marks.  Thankfully we were able to easily fix the issue with a piece of memory foam between his fingers and some super soft fleece.  This morning he had no marks or redness at all.  His fingers are more flexible now and continue to be able to extend more without causing him discomfort.
