Recovery

Azariah's doctors are very impressed with his recovery rate. They are even more surprised with how high his pain threshold is. Sharlene said that this morning (Thursday) Azariah had only had panadol after his initial morphine and was not even complaining about discomfort. One doctor found it hard to believe. He may be released tomorrow if he is going well still. (Fingers crossed).

Today we also had our last session with Tracey at the RIDBC. Zem was pretty tired for the session (he is still a bit ill). Tracey has been a fantastic support this year. We're going to miss our regular check ups with her. I think Zem has really enjoyed her lessons also. Currently we are working on word suffixes like s, ed, ing etc. We also did some counting and colours today. Zem loves counting things. We also need to work on giving Zem directions to do unfamiliar tasks with familiar objects. An example would be: "Put the shoe on the computer."

Another thing Zem is really into right now is spiders. (Most likely because we haven't de-cobwebbed the house for a while). But everywhere he goes, he now looks for spiders on the ceiling. He still hasn't got the 'b' or 'p' sound happening yet, so he says it like this: "s-ider". So cute! 

Zem's favourite things at the moment: 

5. His ride and learn 4-wheeled bike.

4. His bead maze.

3. A small blue matchbox car.

2. His small Percy train that used to be a bath toy but is now an everywhere toy.

And his number one bestest favourite thing... (drum roll please)

1. His pull string fish (ishy) from uncle Trev and auntie Roni.
