Two Week Check-Up

What a great day... Ivan's check-up was perfect. Chris had the day off. After the doctor the boys and I went to visit Lauren (one of Ivan's favorite PICU nurses). We went to Crown Center. They played at the Under the Sea exhibit. We ate lunch at Fritz's (the choo-choo train restaurant). Chris and Al went to the Royals game. ...life is so good!

Dr. Singhal released Ivan for his speech and physical therapy. We can get back to most activities as long as he's wearing his helmet. The swelling won't be completely gone for 3 months. Each morning it seems as if his eyes are open wider. His speech is coming so fast. Today he repeated 7-8 word sentences. Pretty incredible, we were working on 2-3 word phrases less than 3 weeks ago. Now we need to focus on intelligibility. It is remarkable how quickly he's recovered.

Can you believe that round head? I love these pictures, he is so happy. We are so proud of him.
