Chemo Round 3, Day 7

Collin and I were out for a good part of the day. He had outpatient OT and PT, but the appointments were spaced just far enough apart that we would have had to rush to go home, eat lunch, and head back again; so instead we had lunch in the cafeteria between appointments. That way we could take our time since Collin doesn't eat quickly; after lunch Collin had a short nap as well. He enjoyed both therapy sessions, and he works hard without realizing it. He definitely knows what he wants, and can express himself! He gets excited to see the toy kitchen every time we are there, and he also saw some balls he wanted to play with. The occupatioanl therapist kept trying to engage him in different activities, and he would try them out a few times, and then point to the balls. When the therapist would try to refocus him on her activity, he would shake his head and point again to the balls. So she changed her plan a little and played with the ball with Collin. He worked on sitting balance and using his right hand. During physical therapy the therapist worked on knee standing, and side-stepping. We can work on those skills more at home too.
