New Challenges

Avery's motor skills have been improving quite rapidly. He's being very purposeful with his arm movements and his flexibility is improving quite a bit as well. Though he doesn't have too much power in his legs yet, his arms are getting strong and he's been able to really push away the doctors and nurses when they try to work on him.

Yesterday, he was able to yank out his feeding tube so we had to re-insert a new one into him. Also, he has been in good spirits, good enough to start joking around and making faces at us. He's still cant talk or eat though so still have a ways to go before we can hear his voice again.

Talks about completing treatment after #7 PLEX have begun and a referral to a rehab hospital can happen as soon as Thursday this week. The Neurology team is still reserving the right to hold Avery here a little longer but unless something unexpected happens, we will most likely be out of Sick Kids by the end of this week.
