Yawn. Crikey I have been tired lately. Had a nap yesterday before I picked up Caleb at Little School. Wasn't in bed too late. This morning Adrian's alarm went off at 4.30am cause he had a (flasho) hire car to drive up to Kingaroy for the day for work. I couldn't really get back to sleep then.

Caleb and I left Little School and headed over to the Wesley Hospital. Our appointment with Kathy from Second Skin was 3.30pm and we made it in plenty of time. She was very impressed with the improvement in use of Caleb's right arm. He spontaneously lifted it to aid his left hand, he tried to hold a squishy ball, he pushed down a tiny jack-in-the-box type toy and used the right side to point. It was all fabulous.

This next splint will include a hand piece. It is time to open up his hand and get more movement happening. Same arm piece as now, but the second piece will slip over the hand like a glove and go up to below the elbow. I am thinking that it will be lots of fun trying to get this on his little hand! The middle of the year is when it is renewal time for the splint, so I have until then to source some funding from a charitable organisation. The last few times the Cerebral Palsy League of Queensland have applied for funding, but the lady who did that has changed jobs. Kathy suggested I contact some people and see how I go. If anyone knows of companies/organisations who offers support I would appreciate you letting me know. I am thinking of contacting rotary clubs and lions clubs etc, which I will write to soon.

The cost price for this new Second Skin splint is $1240. They last for approximately twelve months and the price includes the visits to the specialist who flies up from Sydney to run a clinic on Tuesdays.

Time for a nap before the little noisy critters get home.
