Update

Well, I finally signed up for Facebook and that thing is a little addicitive, so I haven't had time to Facebook and post on the blog! Things have been hectic around here. We just got finished with a big accreditation thing at work, thank the lord it is over! Cooper had tubes put in his ears last Thursday, as well as having his adnoids out. He's been pretty pitiful the last few days. He perked up a bit today, but is not eating/drinking much, so that concerns me a little - if you know Cooper, you know he loves his food!! Nathanael's Occupational Therapy is going really well. It's a matter of Ken and I making sure we keep up with his 'brushing' sessions. We have a brush that we briush his whole body with 3 times a day, and then we compress his major joints. The compressions are supposed to simulate gross motor (like jumping). I don't really understand the whole thing, I know it has to do with his problems with his sesnory delays, but all i know is...it is helping a lot! The first week, he was like a completley different child. So James is acting up a little...both his brothers are getting lots of attention, and it's so hard to even it all out, and make sure they all know that we love them the same. Cooper is wanting to do more and more things with his brothers, but still pulling their hair and grabbing at their faces, which makes them so mad! We can definately tell Cooper is hearing better since the surgery...no new words really, but he can hear for sure, and is trying to imitate some sounds, so that's all very promising.
