I think Deryn is finally coming around to the time zone, I think it's the first night since we got here that he slept all night long. I'm sure the sibling playroom will help a lot, he looked worn out when I collected him earlier! Dylan had a great night last night, only waking when being checked and changed and awake then for most of the day. Dylan's first physio session was at 9.30am and in this session we learned how to transfer Dylan from his bed to his buggy and from his buggy to his bed. It was scary, there were tears (more from mammy than Dylan!) We went for a walk around the ward, just a couple of laps and then Dylan wanted to get into bed, so we went back to his room. The next session was at 2pm, we had to bring him to the therapy room for this one. This session was harder on Dylan he had to do some real work, there were some stretches and he had to go on his tummy, then he had to sit on a bench.
Dylan had some cries of protest and one or two of pain but the session ended with smiles so wasn't all bad! I think it was worse to watch than for Dylan to actually participate. Dylan also had a quick little trip to the rooftop gardens, they are beautiful, but it's still very cold here in St Louis.
Dylan's classmates back home all hold hands and wish really hard that Dylan will be better soon and will be home soon! I think that their wishes have whooshed all the way to America because Dylan is doing great! Dylan even had all his favorites today, spaghetti and meat balls, lemony lemonade, grapes and cookies! :)
Physio is at 9am and 1pm tomorrow, I hope they go a bit better than today! Although I've been advised by a few parents that have been here before me that the worst is over! Thank God for that!! :)
