Ooops two more things
I added pictures and videos at DropShots
and today at the Doctor's they weighed him and yeah since Feb. he has gained 4# He's up to 37# He's like an inch longer too but I didn't catch those numbers
No wonder he's feel so much heavier. LOL

To many things to have a title LOL
Corb is doing so great. He's very happy, he's eating better then ever, he's doing great with drinking, he's calmer, he's some looser, he's reaching more, he's goober talking a lot more, his tummy hardly hurts, he's able to be in the standie, he's able to be on his tummy (a little), he's tolerating the arm and leg splints well, he got approved for his new wheelchair (he gets it in one month), he's going to have a 4 week trial with the Eye Gaze system (as soon as his chair is ready), his pump is up to 210 (he has another appointment next Tuesday to increase it again and to refill it) and as soon as he feels totally better we were given lots of exercises, ROM, therapy, breathing treatments and he now he needs an hour to eat. Because these are all things that the therapists, doctors and surgeons have added we may be able to get more PCW hours daily. I can't imagine I could possibly keep up with it all, without help. I put together a whole packet of information including what a daily schedule needs to look like, explaining detail by detail what needs to be done every day including all the extras and I added in all the reports, notes, exercise instructions and then I gave it all to the nurse from Corbie's PCW company to help with requesting more hours. We also hope he will get approved for therapy a few times a week soon too. Then we can cut back some of the PCW hours and then when he starts school this coming school year we then can cut the hours even more. I really hope we can get more hours at least for while. I did get one extra hour a day for three weeks while he heals. OK enough rambling :-)

Such a great boy
Sorry for the lack of updates, there isn't a lot we can do right now due to the incisions. I even brought him to the ER last night, because his back incision has a hard lump by it & there's fluid around his pump.
The ER doc called right to the floor where Corb was when he got the pump, they came to the conclusion that the one on his back may be the body reacting to the foreign objects (stitches) & the fluid was because the binder wasn't on tight enough. I thought I had it pretty tight but now I got it real tight (poor thing) There is less fluid though.
Today I did have him sitting/leaning against me while he had his knee immobilizers on. Long sitting has always been hard for him, so we went real slow.
I have been putting his splints on a few times a day, for a few minutes at a time, I'm trying to get him used to them, then when he feels better, he will be ok with them while doing the ROM with them.
He has been a great boy through all this. I'm very proud of him.
So far there's a few things he's already doing so much better, his eating is going so great he's even taking bites & he pushes his tongue out when he needs to burp & can't fit anymore in LOL, (the nissen is a little tight, he's having a hard time getting food past it), he's slamming his chocy milk & he's been goober talking, every day ALL day & so many new, silly sounds.
He's a nut!!!! :-D Like his momma.
