I feeling like everyday is blurred together. I can't believe it is mid-May already. We've been busy with doctors, therapists, and everyday life. I am trying to get everything prepared for Nashville. We finally set a date, June 4th. I booked our hotel today. I am still waiting to hear back from insurance to make sure that this appointment has been approved. I still need to talk with the oxygen supply company to get tanks for this trip. They are on my shit list right now, though.
Ami is doing very well. He has completed physical therapy. Occupational therapy is going well, and he is catching up quickly. We haven't taken him to the doctor lately, so I'm not sure how big he is now; he looks like he has grown a lot. He has 7 more teeth, and he will be done with that horrible experience! Before it started getting hot he seemed to be doing well with less oxygen so that's exciting to hear.
He has turned into an independent, stubborn toddler. He tells you "No" and throws big fits when he doesn't get his way. He loves to go outside, and go for walks. He is speaking really well. He can count to 13, and he knows most of his shapes and colors. He knows animals and their sounds. He still gets confused on the horse and the cow. He lays on his belly and puts his face in the water during bath time. He will also stick his face in the spray of the shower. He is getting pretty good at brushing his teeth, and he'll wipe his mouth off on a napkin. He is growing up way too fast and I HATE it.
I have begun birthday plotting. I know the theme; I just need a place. I'm really not sure what I am going to do. I think I will most likely rent a place. I really want to rent the Ozark Community Center, or maybe the Chesterfield Community Center. He loves water so much that it would be a crime to not have a water related party again. But... these types of places get pricey and you can only have so many people. Ami's family is HUGE. I have his birthday pictures booked, and I'll start on decorations and things like that soon. My other dilemma is he doesn't like cake. He doesn't like sweets in general, so I'm not sure what to do.
I will post again after we see Dr. Young in Nashville and let everyone know what she said.
