A Bruised Reed

A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench

And this boy doesn’t want to stay little, either! He is really beginning to interact with those around him, and enjoys looking at toys. He has developmental therapy once a month, and physical and occupational therapies once a week. (all done in our apartment, thankfully!)) The picture of him on the big ball was from this week’s therapy session. He loved it! Having him on the ball for therapy allows us to easily shift his balance, so that it is easier for him to use his upper body, encouraging him to use and strengthen those muscles. The therapists are working hard to show us how to encourage his muscle development in certain areas to prevent future issues – some minor, and some more serious, like scoliosis and tethered cord.

Josiah was back in the ER this week with another UTI. After doing some troubleshooting, it looks as though the doctors have a possible solution for us – or, at least, preventative measures that can be taken. The staff at Children’s is absolutely amazing. When it comes to choosing an ER, they are well worth the extra driving time. We had a couple of ladies specifically come to check on us because they were familiar with Josiah, and they wanted to make sure that everything was going okay. They are great with kid and parents! :)
