First Day of School

This is Byron's room.  His day starts at 8:00 am with breakfast. School begins at 9:00am.  They have a full school right down the hall with grades pre-k - 12 in little classrooms, about 4-5 children per class.

Most of the day he is pulled out for therapy.  They have this therapy area called "the village" with state of the art therapy equipment.  It's a huge room with tiny actual houses inside.  Inside each house is a therapy modality.  

Byron is starting to turn his toe in again. The PT explained that this is his old movement pattern coming back out of habit.  This is why it is so critical that he is here getting this kind of intense work.

His arm is indeed more relaxed.  It will be interesting to see what happens there.

Byron came back to the room for lunch at 11:30 and then he goes back to school from 12:15-3:00.

Byron has a roommate.  His name is Messiah.  (interesting choice for a name!).  He's here most of the time alone and he's just 6.  That makes me a bit sad.  He's in a wheelchair and has trouble with movement and speech.  He's very sweet.    He LOVES Byrons' iPad.  I think the sharing may become a challenge but hopefully not.

Bob and I will have time to go out to lunch today. It will be nice to have a break.
