Day 578 - Dec 28, 2009

Things returned to normal today. Kevin had speech and physical therapy and he did really well for both. He even did a full hour of physical therapy which I wasn't sure he would be able to do with this ankle. Truthfully, he has been walking the way he was and he hasn't complained at all of any pain in his ankle for a long time now, but I have still been kinda babying it.

And we have an appt on Thursday because Kevin has been having a lot of pain behind his left eye. I don't know if a piece of the filler that they used to fill in his head might have shifted or if it's just something simple or what. He has this dark spot on his head that started out at about the size of an eraser back when we were still in TX and is now up to the size of a quarter. It's very soft there and it's obvious that there is something wonky going on. I just hope it's something minor. I don't know if either one of us have the energy yet to deal with anything major.

But to get to some happier thoughts, Kevin was so excited to get Christmas cards from everyone this year. I know he enjoyed it last year too, but he is so much more aware this year that I was able to take some photos of him opening and reading the ones that the two classes sent him this year. I hope they somehow see how excited he was to read them - and he looked at every single one! He also got quite a few from others and they are all proudly displayed throughout the kitchen/living room. I can't stress enough how much he loved receiving these. Thanks everyone!





And now I am going to go scrap for a little while. Kevin's still raring to go so it will be a while before I get to bed...
