Great Week

Big smiles

Tummy time is paying off.

The beginning of sitting up, even though it looks like Nick is holding him up, he is not.

We have had a great week. Nick got a job and Vince continues to do well. On Thursday last week Nick had an interview and was offered the job that day. His new company is based in Indiana, but he will be working from home. He will be traveling about four days a week, but will be home most nights. Because of this we have been in the process of finding day care for Vince and we think we have found a couple of really great options. It will be hard leaving him at first but we will all adjust very fast I am sure.

Vince had an MRI as well that day and it showed that the blood was going away and that there is just a little bit of staining left. Hopefully that means when we go back for an EEG it will show normal activity and we will be able to take him off of the phenobarb.

Vince continues to do very well with his physical therapy and keeps showing improvements. He is getting better at tummy time and sitting. He does not have sitting down yet but he is able to hold himself up for a few seconds at a time with his hands. I know it does not seem like very much but it is really exciting for us. He has also decided to giggle at therapy on Friday after his therapist bounced him on the ball. It was very cute.

Today we went to the GI specialist to have a check up due to the blood in his stool and it looks like it has cleared up. He thinks it was fissure, so Vince is on Miralax until November to make sure it does not come back. I think that is all for now. We hope you are all having a great end of summer (hard to believe that school is about to start). Oh and congratulations to David, he left to college today. I can't believe my little brother is starting college.

Love,

Nick, Andrea, and Vince
