Christopher is learning how to cook and wash the dishes. He also likes to vacuum, fold the laundry, and putting all his toys on the floor. He is an awesome helper!
Christopher has recently gone to a few doctors visits. There were a couple things which were a little concerning. We were finally given a referrel to the nutritionist. We were also given an appointment to see the pulmary specalist.
We first went to the pulmonary specialist. After listening to our concerns and Christopher's lungs, the doctor decided it would be best to give him a rescue inhaler. This inhaler will only be used if Christopher is having an asthma attack or before Christopher is going to be very active. We will go back in October in order to make sure that his asthma is under control.
We then saw the nutritionist. She was able to give us a little more information about the things Christopher needs to eat and also what groups all his allergens fall under. We also found out that it would be best if we avoided latex since Christopher is allergic to tomato, avocado, and banana. Although the nutritionist felt that Christopher is getting all of the nutrients he needs, we were told to increase his fat intake whenever possible. We were also told to give him sugars as well. we will return in January to check on everything again.
We do need to carry his inhaler with us all the time, but other then that Christopher is doing very well.
We got Christopher some finger paints for his birthday. We weren't sure if he would be able to use them with his sensory issues, but thought we would give it a try. Although he didn't put his whole hand in it.....he did put a finger. I was very surprised when he put a little bit of the paint on his tummy. It might take some time....but one day he may be covered in paint. Until then painting will be just a little bit neater.
