What a difference!

Yesterday we met with two therapists from a new home care company and they were SO much better than the other lady we had for two weeks.  The two women who came to our house yesterday were the supervisors of their respective departments:  occupational and physical therapy.  They come out initially to gather information and evaluate the patient, then assign a permanent therapist who will be working with Cayden in the weeks and months to come.  Both of them were impressed with how well Cayden is doing.  (Seems we keep hearing that from people and it's so reassuring!)  They said they see the case history on paper and go to the first meeting with a mental image in their mind about how the patient will be, so they expected Cayden to be a lot worse off than he actually is.  They examined him, worked with him, and talked to Jason and me about the plan for his care.  We are really excited about moving forward with these new therapists!

 In other news, I was going to try to do an update on Easter Sunday, but I didn't have a single second to spare, and the title wouldn't have been very nice:  I was thinking of calling it "(Cr)Happy Easter".  My grandma came down with what we think was a 24-hour stomach bug early Easter morning and she was completely miserable and out of commission all day.  Jamison threw up during his nap and I thought for sure he had it too, but thankfully, it was an isolated incident, maybe related to the feta cheese I gave him at lunch that I don't think set very well in his stomach.  Even the cat threw up a hairball that afternoon, which he doesn't do very often!  Cayden and I were the only ones who escaped unscathed, but needless to say, we didn't have much of an Easter celebration that day. 

Nonna Lena recovered just in time to hold Cayden one last time before going home Monday afternoon.  Aside from not enjoying feeling so miserable, I think she was upset she missed out on her last full day of baby snuggle time.  We sure enjoyed having her here to help us for a few weeks and we miss her already!
