Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote on the blog. My apologies for not keeping everyone posted. So much has happened (nothing too exciting), I'm not sure where to start. Well, here we go:
Summer is in full swing for Monet, she's been out of school for almost three weeks now, and has no problems keeping herself (and us) busy. She earned straight A's and Honor Roll again, we are very proud of all her hard work. This time aorund, I saw her put more effort into it than in the past. She's been catching up with friends and now is preparing to go to summer camp next week. When she comes back she will be back to boxing and starting a workout program.
Billy Boy is growing like a weed. He's 150 lbs. and 5'11". Needless to say, he out grew his wheelchair and is in the long process of getting a new one made. This next one should last him till his 18 yrs. old. He's had lots of spasticity and hip pain, but received Botox yesterday, we hope that helps. We also started doing range of motion 4times per day, which is really helping.
He also had a consultation at the dentist and we hope he gets some work done soon. My next task is to look into ceiling lifts so we don't hurt our backs as this kid keeps growing.
Billy and I have been busy closing the program at work and starting the new fiscal year. Work is slim, but I'm grateful for anything we get at this point. Our nurses are working out pretty good, and we have this new found freedom we don't really know what to do with yet. Billy is till mountain biking and I haven't worked out in a couple of weeks, but next week I'll be back to boxing.
