What a nice winter we are having.. aLOT of snow a few weeks ago, but it went away
within 2 days.. that's good!!
Unfortunately the illness haven't gone away that quickly.. & Grace has had a tough
winter with being sick. After Christmas vacation, she was home for 2 weeks with
a cold that went into a pneumonia! She was hospitalized for 24 hours..
we are Thankful that she is feeling better & now back to school full-time..
and progressing wonderfully!!!
A note from her teacher this week.. Grace is learning her colors (picks 2 out of 2 at 100%)
& when at 'task' she does wonderfully.. of course she is soo SOCIAL that she
loves to see where her friends are around the room & what they are doing..
At school & now at home, Grace is using sign language very consistently.
She says, 'mama' by voice & has called her friend "noah" at school..
she also has said 'nona' (her grandma in NY) on the phone..
Her core strength is really improving..and she is close to standing independently..
she is scooting on her bum to get to places on the floor
and she is riding a scooter at school during her PT sessions.
Thankfully, she has restarted her outpatient PT sessions.. and trying to get a couple of days a week..
her strength should just continue.
Here she is yesterday.. in her cute outfit on her way to school..
Love her!!
Finally.. she is in a size 5.
Two new pairs of sneakers this weekend - size 8.5
Still loves MUSIC, especially playing the drums.. & listening to her cd in the car
attends a music class weekly.
Signing on a regular basis.. "me", "want" "my turn", "baby", "dada", "nurse", "help"
"eat" & "drink".. among others...
Thanks for thinking of us & reading about our precious little one!
Love,
pattie, gary, Grace & Maxwell
