Therapy

We started Oliver's Occupational Therapy last night. The therapist was really nice and Oliver seemed to like her. It's always hard to tell but she really had him smiling and trying to laugh a couple times. He was moving so much. She said it's a good sign that he's always on the move and trying to do stuff even if he can't yet. Hopefully once we get him off the Clonazepam we will see more progress. Tomorrow night we drop down to half a night pill. He'll only be on one pill a day for a week, then half a pill just at night for a week. Then...off. Hopefully.

We have a 2nd opinion consultation next Friday with the Epilepsy team at our hospital. I just think it's important to have someone else weigh in on his course of treatment to make sure we're on the right track. I am glad they could fit us in so quickly and hope the appointment is encouraging. After the appointment we will start our Lollapalooza weekend. Jason and I have 3 day passes and we'll be going down to Grant park each day to listen to some great bands. Oliver and Tobin will be hanging with Grandma Patti and Papa Frank. It will be nice to have a little break before our big Mayo trip. Hoping this week goes fast as the weekends are hectic and chaotic but I love spending time with my boys and can't get enough of Oliver's little kissable cheeks.

Hoping August is a big month for us....
