As you can tell we have been missing in action the past few weeks. Junior has been sick and then his asthma got very bad. Today is going better so if the weather behaves I hope to be back to full speed in a few days.
For a quick ipad update. I am so glad to have the ipad during these times of illness. Junior can now tell me what hurts and how he feels and be specific.
I am continuing to notice far more verbalization since he started to use the ipad. A larger variety of sounds and he is attempting more words. Last night he wanted the curtain open in his room and instead of his usual HIIEE he said my name exactly right "Heidi" with every sound. He is also verbalizing around other people which is something he has not often done. I had one of his doctors recently tell me they were so impressed at how well he is communicating. This was a doc that has seen Junior for nearly 10 years but Junior had not shown his abilities to. I just love that he is letting other people know what he is capable of. In fact he is determined to get other people to understand him which again is not something he really even cared about before.
Loving it.
