Aaron & Emo

The boys are all adjusting to Emo, even Eric. Eric has a very strong startle reflex, so the chirping – more like peeping and whistling with cockatiels – makes him jump, which he does not like. The startle is a neurological issue related to his CP and not something he can control. But we are hoping that with time he will become desensitized to the noise and better able to tolerate it. Eric loves animals, just not the noises they make, especially screaming birds and barking dogs. But as birds go, cockatiels are not too bad. We shall see…

Back to School

Here is Anthony in the new lift, getting ready for school. He’s not too happy having to get up early.

Today was Anthony’s first day back to school following his big surgery. I drove him in to be sure he would tolerate the ride and we stayed for a couple of hours. The staff was so happy to see him and you could tell Anthony was happy to be back too!

Here’s a photo of Anthony with his P.T.

He will go on the van for a full day tomorrow, then he’ll be off again until next Monday because of the holiday weekend.
