We also found out that Kyle’s OT and PT want to see him more often because he is making such great progress. So one week he will have a PT appointment, the next week OT, then back to PT, and so on. We are also going to be starting speech therapy in about a month. I met the therapist at his last PT appointment, and she is super nice. I told her I wasn’t sure if she could do anything, because Kyle doesn’t understand things the way a normal 16-month old would. She said, don’t worry, my job is to help him understand. But I’m not sure she understands what I mean, but I really do hope that she can help him.

With therapy every week, it will be so nice to have a home nurse taking care of his infusions so I don’t have to make the long trip for that every other week on top of all his other appointments. It’s not cheap either. Gas to get there and back, $9 for parking, and money for food and drinks for me.

Thankfully that will be a thing of the past soon, and all his other appointments are close to home. Now that we have a second vehicle, finally, I’m also thinking about getting Kyle into the swimming program they have at the center where he gets therapy. I’m going to ask the PT next time I see her to see what she thinks about getting Kyle into the pool, because he really loves water.

So I guess it’s wait and see for the home nursing. Until then I’ll keep making the drive, and hope that the weather doesn’t get too bad before then.

I think it’s so awesome that the centre is just a 10 minute drive, and that all of the services are completely free. If we were to find someone outside of the Pathways centre, I know that our insurance would only cover part of the cost. And depending on how often Kyle will need to see these ladies (Mary and Kelly), it could get pretty expensive if we had to pay.
