A few quick Connor updates for you…

| Daytime hand splints |
Today he was fitted for two sets of new hand splits. He has day time ones that are small and thin and that will be worn most of the day. These are to give a little sensory input to his palms and to keep him from tucking his thumbs. The larger ones are for when he’s sleeping. These will give his hand muscles a stretch and will hopefully train his body to keep those little thumbs out.
On August 29 I got the phone call that Connor’s equipment
had arrived! Unfortunately, they couldn't
schedule us for his fitting until September 26, so we’re still waiting to
actually have them in our possession. But at least we know
they will be ours soon!

| Enjoying some beach time |
Probably the biggest news in the last few weeks is that Connor has started hanging on to things put into his
hands! He likes tapping rhythm sticks,
rattles and light weight toys on his feeding chair tray. His grip isn’t super strong, but he’s doing
great and seems to really enjoy his new talent!
The last two weeks of summer vacation were a great time for
our family. The kids and I visited my
dad in Kansas, all four of us went to the shore for a week, Brent and I
celebrated ten years of marriage, our family got to join in the celebration of
Connor’s sitter Carrie’s 40th birthday and we had some fabulous
family photos taken! So many blessings!

And now we’re back to the madness of the school year – Clara
started 2nd grade and playing in the YMCA soccer league. My work schedule has picked up again almost
overnight as have Connor’s appointments.
So we’re adjusting back to longer days and less time together, but
treasuring each day.
Thank you for your continued good thoughts, well wishes and prayers!
