Day to Day
A Different Path
I have decided to take this website down a little different path than I intended. Originally, I planned for the blog to consist only of issues dealing with Sensory Processing Disorder. I feel lead to open the topic up a little more to include all of our children and the challenges that we face in raising them to be godly men and woman. In the ...
Dip
We have taken a dip south these past few days with Bubs. The fits have returned filled with anger, disrespect, and yelling. Bubs is making choices that he wouldn’t normally choose. Things that he would never do – on those good weeks – he is trying. So, we send him to his “space” to get control and think about his choices. Two things really ...
Prayer
We have been in prayer for a baby who is in the same CVICU as Bubs was in. I read this family's blog and my heart just breaks for what they are going through. It reminds me of the emotional roller coaster that having a baby in the ICU takes you on. I have also learned that just because you are finally able to bring that precious baby home, doesn't ...
The Plans
Unless Bubs has a major setback, our OT is sure that Bubs will be finished with therapy in September - at the one year mark. She is thrilled with the progress that he has made. We will work at home with the ABCJesusLovesMe Curriculum to prepare him for Kindergarten. We are pretty excited!!! ...
Test Scores!!!
A little over a week ago I blogged about asking Bubs' OT to retest him since we have seen a lot of progress. She retested Bubs on Wednesday and called me this morning to tell me the scores from the Beery test.Visual Motor Integration - copy geometric figuresSept 2008 Scores - Raw Score 11, Percentile 55%, Age Equivalent 4 yrs. 3 monthsMay 2009 ...
Active Sensory Activities
I stated that Bubs has had a rough few days. Yesterday morning Bubs had OT. I was curious to see how he would do. His therapist had him do a lot of active sensory activities - ball pit, trampoline, swing, and throwing the weighted ball. Then they did some block activities - Blind Blocks. Both the OT and I were interested to see that he was ...
Just When Things Are Going Well…
This weekend was a tough weekend for Bubs. Just when we were getting along so well. I know that some of it has to do with the extra abundance of rain that we have been receiving but that is not an excuse for his disrespectful attitude. I have written before about Bubs getting upset and yelling "no" at the top of his lungs at me or his Daddy. Of ...
Confessions of a Mom
This is a blog that I maybe should have written a while back but didn't realize the importance of it... A year ago, I started the curriculum at ABCJesusLovesMe. I was excited to use the curriculum to the full extend starting last August. We were going strong until we realized how far behind Bubs really was in his fine motor skills and visual ...
Improvements
I talked to our OT this week about retesting Bubs, even though it is not officially time to. She and I both feel like he has made huge improvements over the past couple of weeks in his attention and focus as well as comprehension and vision. We want to know if these improvements are legitimate or if we still have more work to do in specific areas ...
