Charlie at Home

With all the stress of Henry's health having such a rapid decline, some of you may be worrying that we are not getting to enjoy our darling Charlie being home again. 

I have been trying to work from home because Charlie had some appointments and Aly and I didn't want Henry left alone. Mum is a great help to have but she can't drive in the US and we aren't set up for her to agree / sign on our behalf. So, Aly has been at the hospital, waiting, watching and worrying while I get the significantly less stressful task of helping Mum with Charlie. Thursday was a pediatrician visit (mandatory after leaving hospital) and having an occupational therapist (OT) visit the house. Starting life on ventilators and in a hospital bed most of the time is not ideal for their development. We tried our best but, at home, we are taking all the help we can get to help them develop. So, Thursday was OT and Friday was Physical Therapy (PT). 

Here is Charlie in his workout clothes, waiting to get started. I think he's not so sure about this...

Later, Charlie and I did some "Tummy Time" exercises. It was great but, eventually, Charlie let me know he was done for now;
