A time to rest

Our lives are very busy just now as we imagine yours probably are too. The two older boys are going to be busy this weekend taking part in the Bethlehem Experience, in Perth. Hannah was just great in the school concert singing and playing in the woodwind band. She has a birthday coming up this weekend. Parties, nativities, singing round the tree at St Madoes makes for lots of wonderful stuff. School finishes on Friday and that will give us a little chance to breathe somewhat slower.

Our littlest needs time to rest too. After months of high level engagement in therapy with hardly a complaint he has downed tools, quite simply having had enough. And there is not one of us that does not understand that! Initially we thought he could be cajoled round, it is hard not to have that timescale of the "first year brings the biggest improvement" in your mind. The fact is our wee one is tired and everyone is in agreement that he needs a little time. He has been running three OT/Physio sessions, two speech and language and three nursery slots in a week. It is not hard to understand why he has had enough. One session each this week of physio/OT and speech and language and then the holidays. We will reassess after that.

He continues to make progress. He is holding his arm and hand in a better position which is encouraging. His language is showing lots of progress too. We pray that this will continue as we just go about our normal day to day Christmas living.

Thank you for your continuing support and prayers. Over the next couple of weeks we are going to make changes to how we update this blog so here is hoping it can be a bit more often.
