Jonah is continuing to make progress in therapy. He is sitting up wonderfully but still really enjoys laying on his back. As a group (Dennis, Holly, Jarrett, Trish, and I) are trying to keep Jonah motivated to stay up so we got out his Elmo walker again. We had originally put it up so Jonah didn't develop bad habits - per his therapists. However, it is back out and Jonah is loving it! It didn't take him long to start moving forward in it and now he zips around the house pretty quickly and easily. Hopefully the video I have downloaded will work.
Jonah has also started speech therapy once a week. He has taken a little longer to get used to his new therapist. . .he has really been testing her. However, they seem to be hitting it off a little better now.
Jonah is having a nightime video EEG on March 5 and 6 to check his sleep. As most of you know, he is getting up at night several times and it is beginning to wear Jarrett and I pretty thin. We have been tracking his sleep on a sleep chart and he started taking melatonin (supplement to help with maintaining sleep) but we haven't seen much of a difference. His doctor in Indy recommended that we do this to see if we can figure out the cause. We will keep everyone updated on the results and hopefully all of us will be getting uninterrupted nights of sleep.
