All Better

Paxton had a therapy appointment bright and early this morning. It was always hit or miss whether he would have a successful session. Sometimes he would be asleep right up until the time of the appointment. Other times, he would be up for an hour before the session started and be over-tired the entire time. Occasionally, the timing would be perfect.

Paxton was doing an excellent job with lifting his head and holding it up for over twenty seconds at a time. He did this multiple times during the therapy session. His newest trick was being able to put some weight through his arms to give him additional support when trying to lift his head.

Shortly after the session, Susanne tried to get a few things done around the house before they had to head out for his next appointment. Paxton was scheduled to get a flu vaccine today. Susanne wasn't sure if his pediatrician would actually give it to him because of his recent history of coughing up blood. After Paxton was assessed, he was cleared for the immunization. Lucky him!

Paxton seemed to be doing well throughout the day. Susanne did not notice any more episodes of coughing up blood. Also, he was able to sleep through the entire night last night without waking up crying in pain. This was relieving. Even though Scott and Susanne would have loved to know the cause of the blood, they were content with the fact that he was at least feeling better.
