Nathan is doing great with his new orthotic inserts. He says they make him run really fast and jump farther. They said it could take time to get used to them and he might need to wear them like an hour a day but he is doing great. No complaints.
He seems to be really happy about them and told everyone.
A minor victory but a good victory.
Our van was in the shop for repairs under warranty. The kids have wireless headphones for the dvd player in the van and both headphones were broken. Under the warranty they gave us two new pair! We thought the kids would be thrilled but Nathan had a royal fit. He had a meltdown and was crying because he wanted his old headphones. Not new ones. It's amazing what sets him off. He doesn't like change!

Break Time!
I haven't written much lately because #1 My computer is a piece of junk and half the time doesn't work. It took me 20 minutes just to get to this point of writing this! #2 There isn't too much to say right now.
Nathan's last day at his Thursday social group was today. He is moving to Tuesdays and that starts up again in July. I have to admit it will be nice to have a bit of a break. It's tiring to make that trek out to Norristown every week. The same goes for his OT and PT. There will be a break.
The 20th of this month Nikki and I will meet the psychologist to try and get approval for wrap around services.
With school fast approaching it's essential we get these services in place ASAP.
On other news my poor vegetable garden is withering and struggling in the heat. My peas have all but died.
Nathan has his last PT tomorrow until July. He will get his orthotics put in tomorrow as well. It will be interesting what he thinks to wearing them.

Orthotics
Nathan had physical therapy today and a new therapist was working with him. At the end of his session he was tired and angry. He usually is. But his therapist asked me if anyone had ever told us Nathan needed orthotics in his shoes due to his arch collapsing and throwing him off balance.
OOPS!
Yes, we were told this already but due to certain circumstances we never followed through.
Long story short: Tomorrow night Chris and I have to take Nathan to Trappe again and have him fitted for orthotics and HOPEFULLY our insurance will pay for these.
After his fitting we have to get a script from his doctor and after that we have to see if insurance will pay for these. Not sure how long this process will take but I am sure it will take some time!
Nathan worked so hard at therapy and was so worn out I got him a Philly pretzel on the way home. He loves those.
