OT

I ran down to Makayla's to pick Mason up and bring him up with us. For some reason he just doesn't do very good at her house. And he'll probably forever associate me leaving him with her house. It will be interesting!
This is on our way back up to the hospital to see Colby and spend the afternoon with him



Not long after we got there the Occupational Therapist came to get Colby. She had talked to us about having an 'outing' one day for therapy, to give us a chance to see what it would be like for us, and to see how we would do. So today, we decided to go to Costco. It's right behind the hospital so we just walked and Colby had to push himself in his wheelchair! Some of it was pretty rough because it was uphill. And hot! But he did it!!




I didn't take any pictures of him doing the actual work while we were there. She and I chose some items and Colby had to figure out where they would be, push himself over there, and then stand up to it as if he were going to buy it. It was a great exercise for him!
Then we got a little ice cream treat and made our way back to the hospital.


When we got back Colby was wore out. He fed Mason his bottle and then I took him to Kristen's. 
All of the therapy up here has been completely amazing!! I am so glad they made him stay and get the help he needed to be able to go home!!
