We've finally been able to get the boys outside at the park and enjoy some warm spring weather. It's been such a relief to get fresh air and sunshine! Oliver has been doing really well in the stroller as opposed to last spring/summer when he cried nearly all the time. It is nice for us to be more confident in bringing him out with his brother.
Oliver has his first ear infection since getting his tubes in. The nice thing about the tubes is that the ear just starts discharging all the gunk so we knew right away that it was infected and started the drops. Also, since he has the tubes to drain everything out, there was a lot less pressure in his ear during the infection so he never really got fussy or spiked a fever. It's so nice to be able to diagnose something in our son quickly and easily and start a treatment right away!
Oliver is now the proud owner of some ankle braces and a Benik support vest for his trunk support. We are building up his tolerance to the ankle braces by having him wear them for an hour more each day until we get to the full 8 hours. This weekend we are going to go shopping and buy him his first pair of shoes to fit over the braces, then we can start some weight bearing exercises! Thursday he'll be fitted for a stander, very exciting.

I hope the braces and other aiding devices help him a lot! Love, dad
