Jack Update

There really isn't much to update! Jack is doing really well. Next week he will have his (hopefully) last appointment with his speech therapist. Until this point, he's only been capable of eating two ounces of baby food at a time because his swallowing muscles start to fatigue if he eats much more and he could aspirate a little food. We're anticipating that by next week he'll be strong enough to handle more baby food and we'll be done with speech therapy. We'll also be starting physical therapy in our home once a week, which means no more visits to Dupont. Yippee! The physical therapists evaluated Jack last week an decided that he is like a 5 month old physically (cognitively he's fine). He still needs to get stronger in his trunk and arms so he can begin to roll and sit better on his own. Life is really getting back to normal. Jack is delightful and the kids love to play with him. We're so grateful that he is healthy again!
