Long Awaited Update!!

Once again it has been way too long since I last posted. Kai has been a busy little boy! He has had some sort of appointment every week. Two weeks ago Kelly, his therapist, told me he thinks Kai's hip pain is from his soaz muscle tightening. This muscle is responsible for lifting the leg. The problem is it is very hard to get to. So when he is resting we are supposed to have him lay on his stomach propped up on a pillow. Hopefully by doing this we can slow things down a little.
Last Thursday we took Kai to see Dr. Pfeffer the pulmonologist. She thinks he may need his adenoids removed. She scheduled him for his yearly sleep study, which was last night. Unlike last time he did awesome!! In fact when he came home this morning he wouldn't let me take the sticky pads off. He thought they were cool! I had to do some bribery with the Wii. Those of you who know Kai know that he will do just about anything for a video game. lol.
School is still going well for Kai. He does seem to get frustrated when it comes time to color. He just doesn't have the strength in his hands to do it as well as his friends. So I think we are going to have to look into some occupational therapy.
I think this is about it for now...until next time.
