Mother’s Day !!!
What a great day. I had both of my boys with me, and our two favourite Aunts!
The card that Nic bought me at the Eaton’s Center weeks before was absolutely perfect. As was my card from Mitchell written on the back of one of Nic’s menu’s. Both touching. “Where do you want to go for Mother’s Day Mom?” Where else? Shoeless Joe’s!
Monday was “Family Meeting!” I am getting better at these. The team met once again with Nic’s progress, and the goals we are working on. My list of questions was long this time. Especially the ones about his intake of medications. I believe he will feel alot better if we can try to wean him off the ones we can.
All of the feedback from the team was positive. Alice our social worker and Nicolas have made goals for his progress and his education. Education is something we think about alot, but not our primary focus right now. He has alot of physical work on his plate right now. But planning is good. Trish…you know Physio Extraordinaire, had good and reinforcing things to say…and introducing a manual wheelchair in the coming weeks…something both Nic and I are excited about. She is always pulling something out of her hat that blows us away at physio therapy each day!
Then I looked at all of these wonderful talented people and yes, after all my questions where answered, I told them how lucky both Nicolas and I feel to be surrounded by such caring and incredible talented people, then I cried…such an overwhelming feeling that we are in the best of hands.
After fighting and knocking the silly red helmet off his head (oh yes let’s not forget that his snowboarding helmet saved his life:)), he won the helmet battle and went for a ride in the park on this hand propelled bike. You never know what they will come up with next!
the progress is outstanding, i am shocked every time I check this website and see the leaps and bounds he has taken since the week prior.. it’s incredible, you are all incredible.
keep going, you’re all doing amazing.
