Stepping out, with my baby

Today we had both Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy, and sandwiched between was a great visit with Jane.  She wrote a delightful poem for me and David that was heartfelt and inspiring, and I can’t wait to fulfill the future that she foresees for the two of us!  It was great to hear her talk about the wedding.  David and I were both thrilled with the day, and it was good to hear that others had as good a time as we did.  She also mentioned how great David looks, which is true, and how far he has progressed.  I hear that from almost everyone who interacts with us – Dr Blum, Maneshka, Caroline, Karen, Siobhan, Geralyn yesterday and almost all visitors.  The only person who doesn’t think that David is doing well is David.  I have always known that David was an overachiever, but honestly, it is getting irritating!

ST was great this morning and David worked very hard in PT this afternoon, but he was trying to tell me something during the session.  Something about a brace for his leg, and finally, tonight, after we got home from the theatre (more about that later) I got what he was asking, and it was shocking.  I threatened to tell it here, but the details are too crazy to even share!  I am hoping that I will bring him to a proper state of mind.

After all the therapies, we went with Joy to see “I’ll Eat You Last”. which was fabulous.  The only criticism/highlight was that Bette was really sort of just herself in many ways.  The only real difference was that she was pretty stationery.  Didn’t move off the couch for the entire 1.5 hrs.  When she did get up at the end, it was almost shocking.  Great performance, and very funny.  The audience loved it.  Bravo Bette!
