DAY 69

Ty woke up coughing at 1am but settled himself back to sleep (thank goodness!). His chest is rattling and it is a loose, productive upper respiratory congestion. His cheeks were rosey also this morning, but no low grade fever. I have to think it is the pattern of the tea that we have been seeing. He doesn't appear to be sick, happy and on the go this morning. We did get 2, yes 2, BM's in the potty yesterday (one was VERY foul smelling... he flushed before I could see it, but oh my, could still clear a room!)

Teacher reported more vocal stimming at school, but OT called me and evaluation with communication device is looking promising. He is responding better than signing - only catch being he is in a verbal behavior classroom and they may not be completely on board with an augmentitave device being used in there (OT and ST admit that they are glad I "pushed the issue"). Don't you just love the public school system for special needs?????????????

Mellow afternoon, and another independent BM this afternoon - woo hoo, this just thrills me, time and time again! Teacher reported lots of coughing at school, but while notable at home, doesn't sound so bad. Added in Magnesium this afternoon as another "calmer" for vocal stimming.. we'll have to wait and see how that plays out.
