He's Gonna Drive Down to....Electric Avenue

For all of those wanting a Camden update, here goes: Lately he's been eating better and people say he feels and looks heavier. (Thanks to Nana and everyone else who's been stuffing him!) And if we don't let him grab his utensils to eat, he gets irritated and fussy--he wants to do it himself, thank you! His OT is talking about getting him some adaptive feeding utensils to make it easier for him. He's also holding his bottle better (unfolding all his fingers onto the bottle). But the most exciting thing was watching him in the power wheelchair. He's had 2 PT sessions in the high-tech chair and Lisa was impressed with how fast Camden's catching onto the concept that if he moves the joystick a certain direction, that means he goes in that direction. Oh sure, he mostly did donuts in it, but it's a good start! And the focus will still remain on learning to walk. But Lisa's throwing this in for the meantime, to help him become more mobile and he seems to really appreciate it. Zoom Zoom Zoom!

Camden, you look so cute in your new ride! Pretty soon you can do donuts in the front yard! You make it look fun and it makes you look like a big boy! We love you and just keep getting more proud of you! Love, Aunt Betsy:)

Hey Camden, Lets work out a deal-how about I trade you my crummy stroller for your sweet remote control ride? Think about it. Have your people call my people. Love, Wil:)
