Another successful sleep night. Owen was much calmer this morning. There seems to be a little less of the repetitive word thing happening. It’s in the tiniest of ways but I’m thankful for it. I actually slept last night too. It’s probably the first night I slept almost the whole night through in a long time.
He didn’t have much time to play on his tablet since he slept so late but I’m all for the sleeping thing. He wasn’t impressed with the color choices of my clothes but we worked through it. He however put his shoes on the right feet but he was still walking on the back of them.
He started talking about the wrong bus driver for tomorrow but thankfully when I talked to him about what was happening over the next few days he stopped. We went to wait for the bus and he talked about where his bus stop used to be. I have to remind myself of how far he has come and the bus stop alone reminds me of this.
He continues to talk about getting a buzz cut. When he was little I gave them to him numerous times because haircuts were so hard for him and still are. I’m not quite sure how he would handle one now but he stands in front of the mirror and pulls his hair upwards away from his face. He said, “Buzz buzz” and then “No hair.” When I asked him if he wanted all his hair gone he told me no. We will see but for now, it is regular cuts here and there.
I picked him up from school and the repetitive words fell back into place like they were reporting for duty. He wants to talk about certain subjects and that’s that. And it is especially the answers he knows already. One day maybe I will be able to figure out why he needs me to confirm wrong answers.
He was excited to get to therapy but felt a little more hyper than he had been. I’m thankful for the progress he is making and how his therapists all work with him. It’s wonderful to hear and see all the changes he is making. When he was little the doctors made no promises of progress but I always told Owen he could do anything if he sets his mind to it and he is doing amazing things.
He did great at therapy. Much progress is being made. His physical therapist said she was going to work with him on how to hop because he is so good at jumping now but he can’t figure out how the one leg thing works. I think it is part of the crossbody experience with him though. All three sessions were great today though. He wanted no food until we got home and then listed all the places he wanted to go so I told him maybe tomorrow or Saturday.
Finding the answers is what I look for. I don’t know if they will ever be there but I know I will keep looking for them. When I think over yesteryear I know that what matters is that we got to the victories together. Life is full of challenges but it makes those victories so much sweeter. Live for the victory and don’t let the challenge influence your happiness. Smiles to all and donut daze!
