For the first time since escaping the hospital Sebastian had some serious outdoor time, who cares it was sprinkling ! We explored the alley near our home where we found a leaky gutter dropping huge, loud plopping rain drops all the way down to where Sebastian tried to catch them. Puddle splashing was pretty much a bust since all we could find was one barely big enough for both his little feet to fit in at the same time, he still enjoyed being allowing to stomp and splash though. Onward down the alley we found a cut off pipe embedded in a concrete wall , which , according to Sebastian was the perfect place to drop a handful of tiny pebbles one by one , trying to watch each one as it fell.
Later in the day we all headed to the park where we wandered along a walking path in the woods and played in the sprinkling rain on the playground.
Poor Sebastian was so worn out that he yawned all the way home, through his bath and was at the worn out little kid point where their head just about to spin before he passed out.
About an hour into his sleep he woke up sobbing "okay,okay" and was inconsolable. I tried everything , even moving his radio next to his bed and playing 2 different CDs - no luck. Eventually , after about 45 minutes I was able to soothe his back to sleep.
Sebastian is now off all antibiotics and his lungs sound better now than they have in a LONG time. Infact he, on average, is only getting one albuteral neb treatment a day - unheard of, lol !
The Pattibob shoe inserts did not works for Sebastian , seems he needs something with even more stability so we will be going up to the Pollywog or Cricket (href="http://www.dafo.com/index.cfm?pageID=3079") to see if they suit his needs better.
Lastly, today Sebastian was tested for his speech and equaled out to a smidgen below average for his biological age !!! I am dumbstruck ! He has went from a infant range to where he should be in under six months or so !
