FALL IS HERE!

Well here we are! The first part of October, and Terry is doing great! He is making leaps and bounds. He does something new and exciting every day! I am telling you he is a truly amazing child! He just got his gait trainer about a week ago, he is really not sure what to think of it yet, but he does get in it and at least try. I know this is not an overnight thing and it is going to take him time to figure out what it is and what it is for, but he WILL GET IT! Terry is a determined little guy and believe me his is going to prove a lot of people wrong.... yes there are some people out there that say he wont be able to do this, he wont be able to do that... but are we going to listen to them?? NO WE ARE NOT! NO ONE CAN WILL LABEL HIM! Sad thing is that there are so many people out there that like to open their mouth and they have no idea what they are opening their mouth about. This really gets to me! Yes Terry has a ways to go but he is on his way! He goes through a lot too and I really do not think people really know what he does in a week, so let me give you a glimpse of one of our weeks: Monday: Occupational Therapy at 10:30 in the morning, then there are things i have to d0 with him throughout the day that is also therapy related, Tuesday: Speech Therapy at 2:00 in the afternoon, then we have other therapy related things we have to do during the day, Wednesday: Psychical Therapy at 10:00 in the morning, Riding therapy in the afternoon, and other therapy things during the day,Thursday: he has no scheduled therapy, but we still have to do many therapy things to meet his weekly goals, Friday: no scheduled therapies but we still have things to do, and very often we have doctors appointments we have to squeeze in there too. and not to mention getting him in his gait trainer, and his stander so he can build muscle tone in his legs to be able to walk. So you see there is a lot involved in Terry's life but he does it, and does it all with a BIG SMILE! :O) ! Maybe if people could see what it is Terry has to go through every day maybe they wouldn't complain about silly little things! So many people take the simplest things for granted...like walking, or feeding themselves... If Terry has taught me one thing it is not to take ANYTHING FOR GRANTED! I hope to have new pictures of Terry to post real soon, but as you can see we are very busy here and it is hard to find the time to just sit down and update things. I will do it soon!!!!!
