  1. Ethan's Therapy

    I had a chance to go with Ethan to therapy today. He had speech and PT but the Occupational Therapist was off today. He did great. They are working with a Z-vibe (it vibrates and has little mouse and cat shaped tips to change out; also little brushes and smooth tips) to stimulate his mouth. He actually put it in his mouth today and let Ms. Andrea touch his lips briefly. It was exciting to see where my little boy goes twice a week. His Daddy usually takes him while I work. He crawled up and ...

    Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. We celebrated Independence Day with a family reunion. We have been going to this reunion since I was a baby. It began about 45 years ago. We have only missed 1 year back in the 80's. We had the best time. Ethan went to the Splash Pad with his sister and cousin (it has sprinklers and water spouts coming from the cement pad similar to the Olympic water park in Atlanta). He had a total ball. He was skittish at first but warmed up to it and started running ...

  3. Ethan 2 years 8 months old

If you put some on his lips, he will grab a napkin or whatever is in reach and wipe it off. If he can't wipe it off he will hold his mouth open so his lips won't touch. We put chapstick ...

    Ethan (2 years 8 months old today)is doing very well. He went to the doctor Wednesday with a fever. Don't know what it was but the doctor gave him some antibiotics since his nose had been running for a couple of weeks and 24 hours later the fever was gone and nose began clearing up. Maybe sinus infection? He is trying to run; looked like slow jogging but faster than he was going before. He got a hair cut yesterday and did very well. He hates to have his hair cut but we took him to my beautician ...

    :D
    I had a previous blog under Michele Lynn Howard if you'd like to read it. I had some password problems and slow computer problems so I have not posted in a long time and it no longer has the capability to post. So here is a new one. Ethan is doing wonderfully at 2 years 8 months old. He has had some colds and bronchitis this past April, but is doing great. He went to the doctor Friday 6/10/11 with a bad looking sore on his foot. The doctor said it was eczema but it was infected. ...
