Rick and Tucker, relaxing |
Jacob checking on Tucker |
We have had a few events over the last few weekends, like a 40th Birthday party for my sister and I to name one. Since Tucker was born a few days before our birthday, we did not have time to celebrate on the big day, so Rick threw us a party a couple of weeks later. We had lots of fun, and needless to say, there weren't even any black balloons around. His theme was "40 is the new 20" and he prepared all of the food and we had lots of great people around us for the event (sorry for those that had to miss it though, you missed some good food, fun, and drink).
We are now preparing for our next trip to Seattle. Next week Jacob has some follow up appointments including an MRI, a meeting with his Neurosurgeon, the Epileptologist, and the Rehab Doctor at Seattle Children's Hospital. It will probably be a quick trip with a day to drive up, the day of appointments, and a day to drive back, but hopefully it will be a good one. I know that I am a bit exited to see the team of people we spent so much time with, show them all of Jacob's progress and see what they have to say.
Jacob continues to progress well, and he is starting to say more and more words every week. He still walks with a bit of a gait and still does not use his right hand fully, but is using it more and more all of the time. We continue to get physical therapy 2 times a week, occupational therapy 2 times a week, speech therapy 3-4 times a week and he does tumble time once a week. We still keep pretty busy, but it is now a routine thing and we are used to it.
Josh is starting kindergarten in a couple of weeks and is excited. We have found a way for him to be able to continue one more year at Eagle Montessori and he will be able to stay with the friends and continue learning lots with the same teachers as last year. He really enjoyed his preschool there and we were very impressed with how much he was able to learn, so we are glad he can continue at least one more year.
I do promise to post after we get back from our Seattle trip with any news and I will try to keep up a bit better with the blog and photos. Especially now that we have our routine down and we are sleeping a bit better (knock on wood, of course).
