So, there is quite a lot to say but I'm just so stinkin' exhausted. We run and run and run all day long lately,
and then I try to get the ABR hours in when we get home. Yoiks.
Anyway. We started hyperbarics about three weeks ago - two weeks ago? - and Sam is doing GREAT. His
face has loosened up! We didn't realize it was tight, but it's loose now. Before, if you were to touch his cheek,
his whole cheek would move along with it because the muscles were just kind of "frozen" and tight, but now, it's a normal,
squeezable, squishable face. And MAYBE MAYBE maybe that's where the smile's been hiding.
He's been moving a lot more, and looking around (kind of) more than before. Making so many more noises, and getting
more "present" - I know I say that a lot, but these are subtle changes that only I notice, I think. I'm skeptical about
a lot of things that people claim to see him do, but I definitely am sure when he's more here.
Okey doke. I promise I'll try to do better about updating. I'm just so tired. Hyperbarics is over an
hour away, south of here, and reiki is an hour and 15 minutes away east of here, and all other therapies are 30 minutes away
north of here. Nothing's easy, huh?
