Now for next month.
Sept 5th is to re-check Austin's broken leg – and OT with Sheila,
Sept 8th is an eye check for the brothers,
Sept 9th will be with Heather Corbie's home bound teacher YEAH!!! we love Heather & she will also now be here every Tue for an hour & a half,

Sept 26th is socialization with Heather at the center,
Sept 29th is with the dietitian – we are going to put Corb on an over night tube feed to give him some more calories so he can practice other foods with out loosing nutrition.

Also Corb was accepted into the UMD eye gaze class, that will be 3 Thur's a month but we aren't sure of the start date yet.

I have contacted the PT dept at the college St. Scholastica to see if they can see Corb so that may be a few days a week too. Then in Jan. he will be seen by a OT there too.

And then for Oct. (so far)
Oct 3rd will be with Dr. Murphy to check how the surgery went & to discuss the Baclofen pump trial
Oct 7th we will be going to Hudson to have an eval to help get everyone on the same page with all Corbie's therapies.

We have also started the process to get Corbie a new wheelchair & we are also working on getting MA to approve OT & PT each twice a week.
