Hey Everyone!
Sorry there hasn't been much personal stuff posted on the blog lately. We've been so busy that I just don't know where the time went. Last Friday we went to the annual Chili Pepper Festival with Grammy. We tasted some goodies and bought some to bring home.
Raymond enjoyed looking at the horses that were taking people back and forth to the farm. I wish I had a picture of his face when he first saw them. It was so cute!
Lily slept most of the time but woke up for the last ten minutes. She also really enjoyed the sausage sandwich that Grammy bought her for lunch. Lily gets her love of sausage from the Scheks side : )
Earlier this week while Isabella was in school, Raymond, Lily and I went to visit my friend Drea. She lives on a tree farm in New Ringold. It is beautiful there! We went for a walk to the pond to see the ducks and geese.
Once Lily saw the geese, she took off! Drea actually had a hard time keeping up with her.
I couldn't get Raymond to take his eyes off the pond for a picture.
Finally he turned my way.
Yesterday, I had my meeting with the Intermediate Unit about Raymond's transition. It went well. Both the IU and I were happy with the outcome. I'll have more to update you on with this situation in the near future. I'm looking forward to this next step in Raymond's development. Exciting things are coming for our little man.
Here are the therapy updates for Raymond:
"Raymond had to be woken up before therapy today. He slowly warmed up to the session but was not his usual active self. Raymond did a lot of ring-sit position today with soles of his feet together which he has not been doing. He practiced playing in long sitting position on the floor sitting in right and left side-sit and heel-sit which he tolerated only briefly. Raymond mainly practiced keeping his stability and balance while pulling the balls off the Velcro target. He fell 2 times but then figured out how to squat and bend slightly forward to prevent himself from losing his balance."

"Raymond was finishing his tube feed when I came today. We started the session with sitting positions. Raymond has regressed in this area using a tight ring-sit or squat with his butt on the floor as his primary sitting position. He worked on v-sit, 1/2 ring-sit, kneeling and heel-sit position. Attempted scooter play outside today, however, Raymond refused to be outside."

Also, September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This is dedicated to my sweet Raymond and all his little friends who are suffering and couping with cancer. Say a prayer tonight for all the children affected and their families.
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,
