Here are some pics of the new Spica cast. Braden has had a good week. His reflux seems to be getting a little worse. He's been vomitting a bit more than usual. I think the lack of movement makes his food sit on his stomach longer. Amazingly enough he still eats pretty good. He actually likes his food chilled rather than warm. I think the cold makes Braden's throat feel better. He likes fruit based purees the meat and veges are sooo bland. If he has meats or veges I serve at room temp and add a little seasoning.
Braden's speech eval went well. But the passy muir part did not. We think Braden's reflux and allergies may be the problem. He does really well when distracted and keeps his sats up. But after a minute or so he coughs it off. So we will keep trying. The hope is after GI gets his meds right he'll do better. The rest of the eval was about building vocabulary. We have homework and some instruction on everyday conversation.
The new cast has limited Braden's movement even more. We found a way to adjust his chair but he can no longer lean forward. Which means no video of him playing with his farm. :-( So y'all will just have to wait for his cast to come off.

I hope they get the reflux under control soon! Also hope these next few weeks fly by so he can get the cast off!!
Just wanted to say hi to Stephanie and Braden. I enjoy reading these blogs and seeing the pictures of the sweet boy. If you guys ever want to get out sometime please let me know and I can come and sit with him. I don't know if I am qualified or if it's possible just yet but let me know. I am right down the road. :)
