Summer cold :(

I'm so sad and frustrated! Ian has picked up a summer cold and just at the beginning of a major therapy push. We began a 3 week intensive at NAPA Monday of CME with the top therapist there and OT with the head of the dept who's amazing as well. Were also supposed to do speech 3 times a week and AAC 1 time a week. Was looking forward to amazing progress from this schedule. And now who knows when he'll be back to his baseline again ready to go.

Of course I'm also sad because of what it puts him through, as well as the rest of the family. It's horrible to hear him coughing at night. Just brings back horrible memories, like I mentioned in prior posts, kind of like a PTSD. A push of angst runs through my body when I hear it, flashing back to the days where a small cough meant rushing to the hospital for an unknown amount of time and torture for my sweet boy.

I'm going to do my best to minimize the duration of this one. I always do, it's just a matter of what strain and how it progresses.

I've sent mssgs out to all of my friends who might want the appts but we'll see. These are coveted appts and I'd hate to seem them wasted.

And speech! Both the therapist and I were sooooo excited about this little intensive. He's been making tremendous progress and it's such prime time for more intensive work with her. The only reason I got it was because it's summer and a lot of people are on vacation. Will be hard to do again.

Oh well, other than that he's doing amazing! I'll update later on what's been going on with him. Such an angel of a boy, just a little love bird. He really is a Romeo making so many he meets fall in love with those looks and this hugs and kisses. So sweet! Brightens many a ladies/doctors day :)
