More Happenings...

Friday Kyle had his hospital discharge follow-up at the pediatrician's office. I was so glad to hear the doctor give him a clean bill of health (for him, at least).

Sunday morning we went to church for Easter service and Chris was in charge of special effects. He got to make it rain indoors. After church, the kids played on the playground and Chris hurried home to hide Easter eggs. All the excitement must have been too much for Hannah. She threw up on herself, the chair and Kyle's leg. No fever and she was fine after that, though. So much for the photo op with all three kids dressed up so nice.

Before going to bed, Hannah mentioned that her ear hurt again so she stayed home from pre-K this morning and I got her an appointment at the pediatrician's office. She was a bit apprehensive and wanted me to tell the doctor not to give her any shots this time. The doctor was surprised to see us yet again but she said that Hannah's ear is fine. She said that her ear might have just popped or something.

Audrey's follow-up appointment is Friday so we'll be back again to the pediatrician's office. We should really just move in.

After Hannah's appointment, we picked up Kyle from PPEC to bring him to his occupational therapy appointment. We're trying to get his schedule back to normal. When we got in the car from PPEC, I asked Kyle if he had been a good boy at daycare and he grinned real big and said, "Nooo".

When the therapist, Jen, called Kyle back he started crying and screaming like he'd been fatally wounded so I went back with him and both girls came with me. The therapy session started the worst it's ever been with the screaming but eventually he started having fun with Hannah joining in. It ended up being one of the most progressive sessions he's ever had! He reached into the bucket of pasta (to work on his texture aversions) and easily pulled out blocks and even dug through for pennies without any fits about the texture on his hands. Then, although he screamed at first about being put on the log swing, after Hannah got on with him, he started having fun and one time even crashed on the large crash cushions of his own effort and even climbed across three crash cushions (kind of like crawling over lumpy foam) to "catch Hannah". Normally, he would cry and fight about even one crash cushion!

On the way out, they gave Kyle a "Woody" sticker (from the movie Toy Story). He's been a little bit obsessed with Toy Story lately. So on the way home, I asked him, "What does Woody say?" and he said, "Reach for the sky!" just like Woody says it in the movie. So I said, "What else does Woody say?" and he said, "Somebody poisoned the water hole!" (again, just like in the movie). One more time, he answered, "Ev-ery-thing" (like near the end of the movie). It was just so cute!
