2/24/07 Update

Here is a long overdue picture of Nate...



It was taken yesterday afternoon when he woke up from his nap and watched SpongeBob.

We have had a busy week and, best of all, Nate has been doing good. The weather finally warmed up some so Jen has been able to get Nate out for some walks and he even spent some time in his swing. He has been getting in his stander every couple of days plus we've been using the lift to get him in his KidKart. It is amazing how well he has adapted to the ceiling lift. We use it to get him in and out of the tub plus the PT & OT showed Jen how to use it to get him in & out of his KidKart.

We just weighed him the other day and he weighed 43 lbs! Yes, 43 lbs... He is getting so big that it is best for all of us to use the lift...much safer for him and much better on his parents' backs!

Nate's lungs have been sounding much better and while we are still fighting the Pseudomonas, he has recovered from the cold that he had a couple of weeks ago. He is also spending a little more time off his BiPAP. When we take it off, he immediately starts turning his head to the left and then to the right. His mood has been really good and, as always, he is full of smiles.
Thanks for checking on the Little Man!
