Did I Mention?

By the way, I forgot to mention...

R was re-assessed last Thursday for OT (Occupational Therapy). (Yes, it was the coldest day of the year with wind chills in the -25 to -40 degree range, but that is beside the point.) We have been on a maintenance program with Donna, our OT for the last several months. It was sort of a test balloon of sorts to see how he would do checking in every month but not doing weekly therapy. Well, after six months of monthly check-ins, Donna decided it was time to re-evaluate.

He IMPROVED his score from six months ago! Yes, I said IMPROVED!! Six months ago, he was testing at about the 50th percentile for fine motor skills, and last week he tested at almost the 75th percentile.

We don't go back to OT for a re-check for a year. (applause...cheers!) Yes, I did say a year. You can get back off the floor and into your chair again!

R has been in intensive weekly or even twice weekly OT since he turned one year old, and now, after almost four years, we get a year off. I can hardly believe it!

No OT for a year, no PT till spring...God is so good.

This gives me hope that we will one day graduate from the other therapies.

Thank you, God, for using therapy to do so much good for R. Thank you for his progress. Thank you that we get a break because I think that we were both needing it. Thank you for showing me that no phase lasts forever, even if I feel that it might!
