Poop Braces

Spencer is progressing, a little slower than I like, but still it's a start. He has been sick more than healthy I think over the past couple months. He is struggling eating baby food, and enjoys using the sippy cup but doesn't "get" it. He's a happy little kid though.

We found out that he is pretty far sighted. He has to get put under to get his prescription though because of his PRS. They are going to figure out what's going on with his tear ducts and repair them if they can. If he doesn't have tear ducts at all, then they will have to do more extensive surgery later. The PRS also has made his ear canals really shallow, and will most likely have tubes put in when they can so they can repeat his hearing screen.

He has a hand doctor appointment on Monday. He is doing a lot better with his hands, but is still struggling. We're doing a consult to see if we need to do splints again. He also learned how to play his drums. We bought them based on recommendation from the Toys R Us Differently Abled Kids Guide. He loves them. He doesn't know it yet, but Santa is bringing him a Mozart Music Cube for Christmas.

He figured out he has feet. He lifts his feet up and looks at them when his braces are off. He still has to wear his braces for 23 hours a day. We go back in Dec where they will hopefully cut it down to 16 or 18 hours. He can also nearly roll over in his braces and is almost sitting up.

And this is gross. A couple of weeks ago Spence had a diaper blowout at daycare. I got a call that said, "Spencer is ok, but he had a diaper explosion and it got into his braces. We had to take them off and wash them so he can't wear them for a while." I giggled hysterically after I knew he was ok. He enjoyed his afternoon out of his braces while his shoes dried.
