An answer to prayer...

I got an email the other day confirming that Karter was approved for the medical portion of the "At Home Program". This means that any equipment, perscriptions or other medical needs he has, will be covered under this program. PTL!!!! I was informed that he did not qualify for the respite dollars. I have to admit, I was really hoping that we would recevie those so that we could pay someone to come in a couple times each week and do his physio routine with him. But was thanksful that the other portio (the bigger finacial burden) was taken care of.

This afternoon, I recevied a call for Community Living BC, telling me that even though he did not qualify for the respite care through the provincial At Home Program, there was another program that he qualifies for on the municipal level. He has been waitlisted for the time being, but will be receiving respite dollars through that program in the future AMEN!

An update on Karter:

Other than the normal teething and a slight cold, things are really going well with Karter. He has been receiving some extra therapy to round out the flat portion of his skull (this is so facinating, I wish you could all take part and watch). There are two therapists that come to do this, his regualr therapist and another one who is trained well in this type of therapy.

The reports on Karter's progress are very encouraging. Both therapists feel that his strength has increased and that he is doign really well. They mentioned that they feel he is so close to rolling. Now, I am not sure what close refers to...a month, 6 months...but regardless, he is doing well and we are making gains every day. He is vocalizing more and more and louder and louder each day. We are so pleased with where Karter is and where he is going.
