The Butterfly Effect: November 2014
http://lifewithbecks.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Our life on the run with 1 crazy boy, 1 special girl and a dog named Riley. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Sophie wanted to be Emma Wiggle for Halloween again this year. It didn't matter what we suggested she made it quite clear that Emma was the choice. So, Emma it was! Sophie's grade is part of the parade at school as well. Here she is with her nurse and EA. Lucas was Smurfette. What can I say, I have a daring boy with a good sense of self and humour! Sophie had been on a waitlist for a local therapeutic r...

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Monday, October 14, 2013. Serial Casting (No Botox for Joshua.Again). So, today we once again saw the Visiting Paediatric Rehabilitation team from Adelaide. At our last appointment 3 months ago, it was recommended that Joshua have Botox injections. They offered to do it that very next day, but I elected to wait three months until the clinic this week. Over the past three months we have seen a ...

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Thursday, June 6, 2013. The Technical Talk from Joshua's Appointment. I got a copy of the letter today that the Rehab Doctor from the visiting clinic sends to Joshua's Paediatrician. I never did get a copy of the one from his last rehab appointment, so I am going to ask his Paed for a copy next time we see him, cos I really like getting the goss. LOL. So the letter says:.

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Friday, August 2, 2013. Thinking about the future. So, today I had to go to a meeting with Joshua's Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist to have a goal setting/planning meeting. I wrote down a list of goals for him and took it with me. They were all short term goals. I want him doing things that are age appropriate. He does know a few things, but definitely not to the level he should.

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Friday, May 10, 2013. Some of this is a bit of a repeat for those of you on my Facebook, but I need to do a proper update here :). And had a look at the bikes there. I ended up getting him a regular bike with training wheels to try. I thought that it might be better because the location of the pedals is different and may be easier than the tricycles. In other small news, Joshua finally had a m...

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Saturday, February 21, 2015. At the end of January, Joshua started school for the first time. He is in 'Transition', which is the equivalent of Kindergarten in other states/countries. It was an emotional day to send my little man off to school for the first time, but he has been going for 4 weeks now, and I am really happy with how things are going. When he was getting upset at meal times, the...

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Thursday, May 22, 2014. Wow 4 years old. There is something about being 4 that sounds really KID like. You can still pass a 3 year old off as a toddler, but 4. it is something else! He definitely isn't a baby anymore. It is hard to believe I have a 4 year old. Because whoa, that sure went fast, but also because in many ways, I really don't have a 4 year old. I'm well aware that my 22 month old...

Sharing the roller coaster ride after our son was diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Grade 2. Sunday, March 8, 2015. The Process of Letting Go. They said it was impossible to know, and that we would just have to wait and see how he developed. I told myself that Joshua was going to be fine. Of course he would be one of those children who beat the odds and go on to have no problems. Of course. At this same appointment, Joshua's head circumference was on the 5th percentile, and I was agai...
