Jadon's Journey: Preparations

There are just four weeks until we leave for Philadelphia Jadon's shoulder/late surgery.  I have not really bought a variety of shirts yet.  Just does not seem to decide which size will fit best.  A friend of mine has given me a box of 4T shirts to use during this time.  Originally thought that I will need to change shirts to get them to fit over the votes but I read that a mother, I could just stretch shirts that was about 3-4 sizes larger than the child usually wore over color casts.  I hope it works!  It would be nice to be able to use these clothes later when Jadon is actually this size.

Another thing we understand we will need before we provide is a new car seat.  I do not think it currently used will work because the pages curve in toward Jadon.  With his arm in a cast out this his page, we need a site that allows.  We are going to go check out car seats next weekend hopefully!

Grandmother Cindy will travel with us on your next trip.  She remarked that she would go, and more that Matt and I thought the more we liked the idea of having a few more hands to help us.  Especially after surgery.

Before we even go for the surgery, we have another great event.  Jadon turns two this month!  I do not know when the time comes.  He is growing so fast!  We look forward to this birthday party and hope he can really have fun on this.  Last year, he had one of their pain episodes right before the party started and was either asleep or miserable for the rest of the party.  A few months later, we finally figure out what is causing the 4-6 hour pain episodes ..... double inguinal bråcks!!  Poor old Cutie!!

Jadon has done really well in therapy.  His right Benik splint finally arrived and it really helps him with his hand function.  His therapist, it also creates a new splint on his elbow.  We would like to see more elbow extension and this splint placed in that position and gives him a few more functions while he wears it.  Therapist is very satisfied with the results she sees so far.

Here are some pictures from one of Jadons most recent therapy sessions where he had to use Righty to play Lucky ducks!
