Happy Birthday Aunt Julie
Napping on Dad
Ryan wants to wish his Aunt Julie a Happy Birthday. I hope you have a wonderful day with Uncle Trevor and cousin Olivia!
Ryan had another busy week. Therapy on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday he met with Jo, his eye therapist. She saw so much improvement with his vision. He is now in the 3rd stage of CVI. This is great news! He still has some issues to work through, but has shown remarkable progress. Jo suggested that we can start to use photo flash cards. So that is my new project...taking pictures of people and things familiar to Ryan, printing 2 copies and cover them with clear contact paper. We can use them for matching while asking him questions like..."Where's Mommy?" or "Where are your shoes?"
In one of the exercises, Jo asked him" Where's your bottle?" and Ryan reached for the bottle, then a few seconds later she asked him "Where's your shoe?" and without hesetation, he reached for his shoe! We were astonished and so excited. For him to know the difference and understand means so much and proves to us that his therapy sessions are more important than ever. They really do affect his development and progress!
We went to Soulard Market this morning and the local PBS affiliate was filming for a documentary. We kept running into the camera guy who shot about 30 seconds of footage of Ryan! He didn't give me any information on why he was filming, so it's possible Ryan may appear on a PBS show sometime in the future
Well, that's all for now, Ryan just woke up from his nap.
