Well, it has been a crazy couple of weeks!
Billy has been really busy. Therapy,therapy,therapy. He is quit a busy little boy.We did get to have a fun day at Muddy Creek Sunday watching Daddy and Brittany race, riding the golf cart and just enjoying the sun shine. All was great till Monday when he woke up with a swollen eye,we went to the doctor today to find out he has an eye infection. Seven days of eye drops(UGGGG) and all will be great again. We have an appointment with doctor Trainer in Knoxville Friday for a recheck on his Botox injections. He is doing great, so I am sure it will a great visit but a hard day of riding in the car! This weekend is suppose to yuky weather again so we will have plenty of R&R in our PJ's and watching Sponge Bob.

Billy has a very busy couple of days. Yesturday I took him to knoxville to see Dr. Sears, the orthopedic surgeon. He had a great check up. Dr, Sears says no surgeries in the near future...YEAH His left hip is extreamly dis located but as long as he has no pain from it we are OK. He has no permanent contractures for now he was able to get his whole body in neatural. Boy does he scare me to death when he stretch's him. He did say that Billy was at risk for stress fractures but we need to continue being very aggresive with his stretches. If he gets a stress fracture or a broken bone we will deal with it, Easy for him to say!!!
Today we got up and went to Physical Thearapy were he really got stretched, I have a hard time watching. Then he did some sit to stand excercise and he really worked hard. He stood for about 10 seconds, which is really good since he quite bearing anyway after this last surgery. We are hoping he will get back to walking with his walker soon. After therapy we went and picked up Billy's friend Molly. Hope to have pics posted by Monday. They have played so hard today they were
asleep by 9:00 pm. Tomorrow we are all staying in our jamies ( after bath time) and watch Sponge Bob all day!!!

Billy had a pretty busy day. He decided sleeping was not very important this morning and was awake and ready to get up at 5am. His nurse Betty came in to help out today (thank God for her). Brittany was home sick and I had to take her to the doctor. So I took Billy and Betty to speech therapy and Brittany to the doctor (stomach bug UGGGG). Billy had a real good speech session today. During his vital stim he swallowed really well for the first 20 min.with very few promts. Then he fatigued , but continued to do well. Anissa does an amazing job with Billy. He probably did so well because I was not there,( little rat). He doesn't want mom to know all his tricks.
After speech we went to see Richard at Excell orthotics to get Billy fitted for his new DAFO's (leg braces). We had a good visit but were unable to get him casted because the doctor wrote the order for the wrong DAFO's. We will get it straight and do it again. Billy likes going to see Richard, so all is well. We cancelled school for today due to the fact Brittany is sick and we don't want to share her germs with Allison ( Billy's teacher). So the rest of the day Billy has lounged around watching the Sponge Bob (his hero) marathon. He is a happy little camper.
