More and more it seems that Elijah is getting tired of his wedge, or actually his situation in general. For a long time he seemed very content, and made very few comments about what he couldn’t do. That’s starting to change.
It’s not surprising that this is happening in correlation with his healing. He knows how he feels, and he feels pretty good. He’s moving more and more and his pain is becoming less and less. So, as he can sense that he’s getting closer to be able to resume some normal activities, it’s harder for him to miss out on those activities. In the past couple days he’s made quite a few comments about wishing he could be doing something that somebody else is doing. It is sad to hear him say that, because I know he’s feeling sad and left out. But I also know that he’s getting closer to doing those things, and he will do them again.
I’ve been wondering how enthusiastic he would be to start physical therapy, but I think I’m getting a clearer picture that he’ll definitely be ready to go. Whether or not that enthusiasm, or maybe it’s just restlessness, will carry through and will push him throughout his physical therapy, we’ll have to see.
On a different note, even though it was a holiday, he and Julia did their homeschooling today since she wanted to keep the same schedule and have Friday off. He still doing well with that and seems to get most excited about doing science experiments. Who can blame him though, those are always fun!
Other than that we didn’t do anything exciting today, so no cool pictures to share. But here are a couple of us having story time before bed.
