This week has been a big one for us. On Monday, we almost lost our wonderful 8 year old dalmation, Domino, to a ruptured bladder. After rushing him to the vet hospital, he had surgery to repair his bladder and has been recovering for the past few days. We are excited to take him home tomorrow.
Hanna had her first "hair" cut -- just shy of 3 years old. It was a small curly lock that had her looking mulletish. This was hard for her momma to do but she didn't even notice.
Hayden also got approved for Medicaid!!! This provides many things for us all including his first in-home RN to help with respite care. This is a great thing.
Today was also a great day. Hayden got fitted for a stander from his PT. The stander is to help him start bearing weight on his feet and legs. He absolutely loved it!!! His PT said in all her years she had never seen a baby take to it as well. He looked like such a big boy upright, not like the baby I cradle in my arms.
I was overly emotional to see him love it so much. A custom stander runs about $3,000 and will take 3 months to order. Fortunately, medicaid along with our private insurance provider should be picking up the tab. He also will be fitted for ancle braces (AFO's) and got a chair ordered to help him sit upright and a chair for his bathtub to help him take baths.
Also, as to the update for Hayden's eyes, we will continue to patch them for another 2 months.
This is the dessert buffet!
Hayden was his handsome, happy self. He ate his first mashed potatoes.
Hanna loved the chocolate fountain best!
This is Hayden's borrowed stander until his fancy metal custom one is made. Check out those cute legs!
This is Hanna saying cheeseburger!
