On Monday his caregiver/teacher started and all is going great. She is really lovely and her and Jason are getting along just fine. I am back to work again which is lovely to have some adult time now and to know I am earning some money too. I trained "E" on Monday and Tuesday and she is happy to help with feeding Jason via the Peg as well. At the moment he can only tolerate 100mls at a time. This is a huge help and we are so grateful to her to be brave enough to help feed him as without the help he would lose out on feeds and much needed calories. During the mornings they do puzzles, play dough, drawing and outdoor activities. It's great that he is having that one on one attention and learning while I can work during the mornings. Yesterday when I got home there was a picture they had drawn and you can see the little face he drew with the eyes, ears, nose and mouth :-). Mommy was so proud. While we were in hospital we were lucky enough that Jason was SO spoilt from everyone and received lots of educational toys, crayons, drawing books etc. I have also asked E to encourage him to eat and drink if possible and yesterday he ate a "cow moo" cheese triangle :-).
Tomorrow we have the urology procedure which will be a circumcision and urethra dilation to help with weeing. We weren't aware until our hospital stay that there was a problem and he had a blockage. So tomorrow first thing he will have his little operation and thereafter polygam. Please keep him in your prayers for a smooth, pain free procedure. We will also do bloods and a urine test to check if all is ok and to make sure the protein in the urin isn't too high. The kidneys will be checked out at a later stage. While in hospital tomorrow we will also see the dietitian to review things and see how he is doing weight wise.
Today we start speech and occupational therapy again. It's been a while since he has been able to go to therapy so we are very pleased about this.
It's wonderful to have our happy little Jason back and we are so grateful that we got over this rough patch. God is great and thank you to every one of you for your prayers and support for Jason and for us!!
