We had a good day today. Jason was in a much better mood. He seems to be getting use to his therapists finally and starting to partake in things instead of being so moody.
We only had occupational therapy with Ingrid today so at least he wasn't exhausted by the time he started. She managed to do quite a lot with him. Playing with balls, play dough, sticking things on play dough. The idea is Jason needs to keep up therapy so he doesn't shut down completely. They work with getting him to do things and keeping him motivated. Ingrid is happy that he is progressing. We managed a tiny bit of water in the mouth today and that was the end of therapy. Ingrid has given us some play dough to play with over the weekend.
Play picnic was pretty much the same. As the professor pointed out, Jason is the seargeant major, all he is missing is his rifle!! LOL. He likes to observe and doesn't do much. We forgot the pom-bar chips today, tried other things but he was not interested in anything else. Then he saw Poppy had some pom-bar chips and he stole a few from her. He is still sitting with them in his mouth now and it's 3 hours later!!
Hopefully we will get past the chips in the mouth story. Next week we join the new group so maybe one of the new kids will give him a bit of inspiration to get dirty and try other things.
We have a free weekend. Will hopefully meet up with Rob, Brene and Tayden and possibly go into town and do some sight seeing as well.
Thanks to everyone for all the lovely comments!!
