Today's Appointments

Quick thought first----If you are trying to view by blog from your phone you can't see the extra tabs at the top of the screen, for you to understand more about "Our Journey" you are going to want to click on the tab, "how it began" tab to read my full story...

Ok back to today....
Tuesday's are usually our busiest days when it comes to appointments for Hunter. I try to put them all in one day so we don't have to miss more then a half day of school. The morning started off with OT. He is making great progress in OT!!! We talked a bit about his bike riding and how it's really going to help with the muscles that are weak and the joints that are locked up. I mentioned that he is a great rider, but his pedals keep breaking. She said this was due to him pushing to hard. He doesn't know when his body ends so he keeps pushing. This makes sense with the fact that Hunter seems to enter people's bubbles. Also, when he goes to hug you sometimes he'll almost knock you over. His spacing is off. I'm hoping this will all begin to be fine tuned with the OT. After OT we had a therapy appointment to check in with how things are going at home. Like I've mentioned in our back story the main issues we have are at home. Not listening and issues with Hunter and Jack, not to mention the over stimulation for the day at school. I have always said that I would rather him work his hardest at school and at home freak out, it's his comfort spot. Your home is where you can be yourself. Now we shouldn't always act crazy at home, but you know what I mean. We're learning new coping methods, and catching himself before the over stimulation kicks in. Before there was no stopping it and then it was out of control, since working on these things, it has gotten better. We're also working on ways to work the OT into everyday life. His therapist spoke with his OT and they are working together so that everything can intertwine. It seems like everything is falling into place and I couldn't have happier. After his therapy session we went to PT. He's been working on his exercises at home and they taught him some more today. This is only his second session so I haven't really been able to judge any results from it yet. Today was just such a good day, and full of positive feedback!! I love those days! Tonight Hunter and I have Cub Scouts, it's popcorn kickoff and I am the chair for the popcorn fundraiser (let me know if you want to order) We have to do a presentation to the pack. I stayed up way to late making charts for each den. I used glitter, but I promised him it wouldn't be girly colors. LOL. On the good side....my crafting skills are so little that it looks like the scouts made the charts themselves. Oh well...At least I tried.
