James has been home for just over a month now  and , wow,  he has been working hard!  His Physiotherapist is awesome!  He loves Physio,  and his balance is definetely improving. His physio therapist makes it really fun,  but works him very hard!  Its cool because he explains to James what muscles he is working or stretching,  so it becomes a bit of an anatomy lesson too!   He can also get down to the floor and back up using the couch to lean on with very little help.  He got a new walker last week and he walked into church today!  We left his chair at home!  He is also starting to eat enough puree to drop a can and half of tube feed a day!  He has an appointment with the Speech therapist again next week,  and I think she is going to be surprised!  When we saw her last, she okayed us to give him about 1/4 cup of puree twice a day,  and I was feeding him.  Now he is feeding himself and he is eating about 1/2 a cup three times a day.  He is wanting more though,  and is asking for something more solid than puree!  I am hoping to find a speech therapist to work on vocalizing with him.  He has mouthed at people a couple of times lately.  It has seemed automatic and while he hasn't actually said anything it is the beginning of automatic movement!  He can say "Hi" and "Hey"  though, if prompted.  It is a bit nasal and slow,  but with practice I am sure it will get better and can be added to!
