Hello all...

It has been a while... I plan to post a video tonight of Andrew's Walking. He is doing well since he started Aquatherapy. He is getting frustrated with the therapist since she is trying to get him comfortable on his back in the water since she plans to do lots of exercises on his back. But in his mind he thinks that it is play time. So we have some plans to spice things up a bit for him at his next session. It has been really difficult lately to see him back on his toes again. It is the constant reminding him to put his feet heel to toe. and of course he is frustrated with us by telling him all of the time also. But it seems that fatigue sets in in the afternoon and of course he is not really motivated first thing in the morning. So when we see him the most on weekdays (morning and evening) because he is at school all day, it seems like that he is having a setback, but in actuality we see a difference on the weekend when he is with us all day.

Otherwise he is doing well. We notice that he is much stronger and has better balance and things get better little by little every day. Of course, since his IS doing more strenuous activities during the day, he seems to get really tired in the evenings.... BUT it doesnt help that he just lays in bed and doesnt fall right off to sleep. He rests for a long time before dozing off.

Here are some pictures of the boys at the beach and I'll post more photos and video later.
