My parents were suppose to leave on Monday, but decided to leave Tuesday afternoon instead. So Monday my mom made a bunch of meals to put into the freezer for us and Tuesday we spent the morning going through the baby stuff and getting some of it washed and organized. It was a huge help having her here and so nice to be able to visit with my parents again. The boys of course loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa as well.
We said good-bye to them on Tuesday which is always sad to do and the rest of the week was fairly uneventful. Just the normal appointments and such. Actually on Friday I took Bryce up to an orthotic specialist in Phoenix to try out a device called a SWASH. His PT had seen one and was very excited about getting Bryce into one. When we got there, we had good and bad news. First, the good is that the SWASH seems like something that could really help Bryce with sitting and eventually walking. With it on, he was actually able to sit on his own and reach for things using both of his hands. I think it would give him a lot of freedom as well as making it easier for the PT to work with him. The bad news was that this particular company does not take our insurance or Bryce's extra insurance. So we will have to just wait to hear from CRS at St. Joes and get one through them. He will also be getting some AFO's to help with the spactisity in his legs. Knowing that this is all coming makes it really hard to wait for it, but at least I know we are headed in the right direction. There are so many hoops to jump through, it's just crazy. It will be worth it in the end though, I am sure!
Ok, now I think we are caught up. Now I just need to stay on top of it during the upcoming weeks!

I wonder if you saw the same Orthotic Specialist that Calvin sees. Was her name Barb?
I'm very glad to hear of all the resources becoming available for Bryce to help him.
