Getting ready

Yes we are getting ready for my mommy to go back to work Monday. She has been off for 8 months with me. She is not looking forward to going back to work. She wants to stay home and teach me and do therapy with me. She said though she doesn't want to go back she is very thankful that she was able to stay home with me for 8 months. She couldn't have done it without all the generous donations from all of you. So from the bottom of my heart thank you all so much for allowing her to be here with me during my recovery. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me and my family. I also have a few new things that are fixing to happen. In 3 weeks I will turn 3 years old. We are not excited about this because I will no longer qualify for early steps. My early steps therapist have been coming to my house since I was 7 months old. They have become a part of our family and we will miss them so much. They have helped me progress and helped teach my mommy all about therapy. Again we will miss them very much:( So what am I going to do for therapy? I will start going to therapy at Loranger Elementary for a few days a week. We do not know how long or what days yet. I will keep you all posted when I do know. The good news about this is my mommy knows all the therapist there and they are all wonderful. I know they will do a great job picking up where early steps left off. I will also get to go to MMO at the Catholic Church in Amite. MMO( mother's morning out) is a great program for toddlers. I will go there Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8-12. This will be great for me to be around other toddlers. Many people are asking who is going to keep me when mommy goes to work. Well my MiMi(my daddy's mom) will keep me on Monday and Tuesday. My Aunt Mendy will keep me Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So I will be with family during the week. Please pray for me during all these transitions. I am a momma's baby and I am attached to all my early steps therapist so we are not sure how I'm going to handle all these changes. I'm sure I will do great!! Just a quick update on development. I'm still doing really well. I'm not really walking much because I'm having brace issues again. My brace is just too small. We did go to children's yesterday and they casted me for a new brace. Hopefully we will get it in the next 2 weeks. Until then I'm afraid we are not going to see much walking. I need that brace and I need the support. That's why mommy went and sat a children's without and appointment so they could fit me in yesterday. My speech continues to improve daily. The other day I went to my dad and said daddy nunu car outside get it. So yes I'm getting my point across. I'm also improving play time. I understand how to play with toys and what to do with them. I can play with a toy for a long period of time. I'm doing well with my constraint therapy. I'm using my right hand alot more. This is very encouraging. Please say a prayer for my friend Connor who is having lots of seizures and fixing to start some new therapies to try to help. Also pray for baby Kingston and Jocelyn. They both just had hemi surgeries and need our prayers. They are both doing well but are both still in the hospital. Thanks for all of your prayers! Love ya, Jadon
