Hudson has had a busy month and we want to share all about his many adventures! We are still waiting for cooler temps ;)
Speech is going well. His vocabulary is expanding and his newest words include shoes, bear, avocado, drink and please (when prompted!) His favorite thing right now is "carrrrrs". Anything with wheels is a car to him and his therapist is encouraging us to work on deciphering among car/truck/bus/boat/etc. So far it's just "carrrrr"!
He has had several medical appointments this month. His routine ophthalmology follow up went well. His vision is still great and there have been no big changes. For now we will continue to monitor and we will patch his left eye two hours per day in hopes of forcing his non dominant (right) eye to strengthen.
We visited Scottish Rite Hospital for the first time. The primary referral was for orthopedics. This Spring we confirmed that his left hip is dislocated which causes there to be a significant leg length discrepancy. The doctor says that nothing will be done about that but that they will keep an eye on the dorsiflexion in his right foot. We also met with a developmental pediatrician as well as several sweet therapists who fell in love with him :) After their brief examination they gifted him with a new teddy bear and toy "carrrrr"! Before we left they encouraged us to visit their orthotics department who graciously allowed us to rent this stander for a year. He already has the hang of it and it allows him so much freedom and independence! We also have stationary stander ordered which will allow us the convenience of keeping one stander to school next Fall.
He was molded for a new set of AFOs! Sure Step seems like the most quality brand so we requested those this time! We chose a dinosaur pattern since he is really into "dinos" these days!
We met our friend Oliver at the zoo one morning. These two enjoyed rolling around together!
He has attended numerous football games and does so well! Here is our sweet little bear cub cheering on the Baylor bears!
One afternoon we visited the Magnolia Silos to grab cupcakes. He enjoyed swinging with his favorite brother and sister. What a lucky guy :)
