Better Again

So today has been a much better day than yesterday.  Travis and Justin both made it through the night without any problems.  That made for blissful sleep for Randy and me.  And Travis is just fine today, although he wants more of the medicine I gave him to drink yesterday (pedialyte).  He thought that was pretty good!  Justin is a little cranky and we don't have any results from the miralax, so we're keeping at it.  We'll go back to the doctor next week to see how his weight is doing.

We did find out the "score" from Justin's OT reevaluation.  There are two areas, grasping and visual motor integration.  Grasping he went from 20 mo. to 28 months.  There wasn't as much progress in that area because there isn't as much to test.  The age range of skills jumps from around 18 months to over 40 months.  The next big thing he should be doing is buttoning buttons and he can't do that at all, so that stunts his scoring.  But 8 months progress in 1 year is still great!  And in visual motor Justin rocked!  He went from 22 months to 36 months!  That's huge!  He is really moving along.  The things he is working on now is refining some of the skills he has learned.  Like he can draw a line, but now he needs to draw it straight from one point to another.  (They even use a certain degree of variation to determine if he meets the criteria!)  He can cut, but now he needs to cut straight following a line without help.  (This takes major coordination to cut with one hand and feed with the other.)  So Miss Caroline is very pleased and is anxious to see how things go from here!
