America Block 3, Day 2 - Kaufman Center session 2

 Today I was SUPER cranky! So cranky that I wasn't even happy to stay in the swing for long.

SO cranky, that I didn't want to eat anything at all. Not even my breakfast. We only stayed for half an hour with Jessica today. She said there wasn't much use in doing any more for today.

Today my ears were a little better. I still had a little trouble and we had to pause a little bit at 1.5ata before Sheila bumped my up to 1.75ata. I was still a little bit cranky in there, but really not too bad. I did manage to have a little snooze too! In the afternoon, mummy was trying to give me a little drink to see if it would help with me being able to pressurise my ears. I ended up doing a little bit of a vomit. I went to sleep after that too. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

America Block 3, Day 1, Kaufman Center session 1

 Today was my first day back at the Kaufman Children's Center. I saw my regular therapist, Jessica and she assessed me to see where I was at with my oral motor skills. She started by swinging me in the swing. One of my favourite things to do. It helps stimulate my vestibular system and gets my nervous system ready to work and process new information.

 I wasn't very keen to get into work today and I did try to fight her a bit. She wanted me to pop the bubble on my lips. It helps me to make good lip closure.

 She also tried me with a cold ice block. I always prefer the Zee-vibe though, because it vibrates. Vibration is one thing I really love.

We are also going to make teeth brushing a priority. It usually takes Mummy and Daddy to hold me while they brush my teeth at home. Most of the time the sensation of the toothbrush in my mouth makes me vomit. This is one thing we would really love for me to be able to tolerate.

America Block 3, Day 1 - HBOT sessions 1 &2

We are back at Oxford Hyperbarics to complete another 60 hours of HBOT!! Mummy is very excited for me to be able to do more! I had trouble with my ears for this first and second session and I cried for most of the time. I didn't want to be in there. We pressurised both times to 1.5 atas. I was very happy when they were done.

(Did you know that completing 40 hours of HBOT increases the body's own circulating stem cells by 800%! - Great for healing! )

Swimming



Ordinary Miracle
It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
Will always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all a part of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
It seems so exceptional
The things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today
It's just another ordinary miracle today

HBOT (Block 3) Sessions 37 and 38

Well this morning I was in with Daddy and decided now was a great time to create a really - REALLY stinky nappy! HBOT is good for detoxing out all the rubbish in my system and this is the way I get rid of it. Mummy is a bit surprised that it took us 3 weeks worth of HBOT before I started to do this. Normally it works a lot quicker for me. Since we are on the subject, on Saturday I did 7 dirty nappies!

HBOT (Block 3) Sessions 35 and 36

Today I did both sessions with Mummy. I was really active inside the chamber. I  think Mummy even caught me looking at the tv a few times... :D The two sessions just flew by
