Quick update
posted on 05/25/2009
Bennett has been healthy and happy the past 2-3 weeks and we are so very thankful for this. He spent a lot of the time from January through April of this year sick with respiratory issues and we were really puzzled by what was causing these virus'/pneumonias/asthma flare-ups. After multiple trips to the pediatrician, a swallow study, and a chat with the pulmonologist, we decided to stop baby food by mouth to see if he was aspirating that. Since we stopped the baby food he has been healthy, but flu season has also ended during that time, so regardless of what the trigger(s) was, we are sooooooo thankful.
Bennett has been staying busy with this therapies four days a week, "stander boot camp" at home (he is working up to hour long sessions and is doing great!), and getting out and about for birthday parties, church, and family functions. He is a sweet and happy boy and we love him with all our hearts. His giggle is the best one in town and one day we will actually catch it on video camera and upload it to his website :)!
We will give a seizure and Botox update soon~ there have not been too many changes in these departments, but hopefully there will be some improvements soon.
