OK, so I've decided to start a blog....just hard to figure out where to begin. Ryan is 3 1/2 and doing well. He is smart as a whip and says things that shock us everyday. He goes to preschool 2 times a week and I am always so excited when he tells me these great facts so I know he is learning so much at school. The other day, we were driving on Sunrise Highway and he says, "Look mommy, it's a canyon. Did you know that there are lots of canyons on the moon." I couldn't believe it- I was thinking he defintely had to learn that at school because they were learning about the planets. So I said, "did you learn that at school?" and his response as usual was,"No, I learned it on Mickey." So thanks Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for being a 2nd preschool for my son, yet again!
Brayden is also doing well...just to get all of you caught up on my little guy, he has a had a rough year of many many doctor appointments and intense therapy. He has not been diagnosed with anything up to this point, but a global developmental delay and possibly a cranial nerve dissinervation syndrome (which is basically when one or more of his nerves in the brain was underdeveloped or missing). We will find out more about the cranial nerves when he has another MRI when he is 2 to look at the brain stem to see if one or more of the nerves are damaged. At this time he receives pt 2 times a week, ot 2times a week, fedding therapy 2 times a week, vision therapy 1 time a week and speech 1 time a week. He also has a nutritionist that has been giving us ideas on how to fatten him up since he has had trouble gaining weight. I got my own scale toady and he gained about a half a pound since last week at the doctor so I am sooooo happy! Hopefully he will continue to eat. We have discovered he likes avocados and hummus! He is also sitting very well now which has taken a lot of work on his part. He works so hard everyday!!! He is a sweet and loveable little guy. You just can not STOP kissing him!
