Therapy!

Luke continues to do good in his therapies. We are really working hard on speech. We really need to get his air flow going. He is breathing about 1/3 of what he should be, so we are doing lots of blowing stuff. When he says a word now he has to say it letter by letter, sound by sound, so it takes awhile. His new words are sis and Mike. I have also been showing him flash cards with things on them to get him to say what it is. It is good practice for him making different sounds. We continue to try and get him to say yes or no with his voice instead of with his hand signals...he can sure be stubborn with this sometimes:) In his other therapies he has worked on swinging in a swing, which he seemed to love, but said no when asked if he wanted to do it again? He has also been playing basketball and soccer. He is getting really good at shooting hoops using both hands to hold the ball. Today was his first day trying soccer, kicking the ball, with lots of support, but it is good for his balance having to try to balance on one leg. Thanks for continue to check on Luke...please continue prayers for those eyes to open before Sept. 3rd!!
