Cayden
As many of you know, Cayden is our 4 yr old. She has PVL, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, cortical blindness(please visit her website to get more info http://caydentowery.tripod.com)
Cayden gets occupational therapy 2 days a week 1 hour each day, physical therapy 3 days a week 1 hours each day, and speech therapy 3 days a week 1 hour each day. My hope for Cayden is that she can learn to operate an electric wheelchair. right now her movements are very uncoordinated and jerky. She is learning cause and effect for now. If when she learns cause and effects hopefully her movements will be coordinated enough so that she can move an electric chair forward and backward. That would be an awesome accomplishment for her.
Cayden is also learning to use a communication device. As of right now she is not working on words with the communication device, she is learning how to activate it and what happens when she activates it…”cause and effect”. It would be awesome if eventually she could communicate a few words with a communication device!
Intro
Just thought I would give a quick intro and give everyone an idea of what I may post on my blog.
I have 3 children; Payton 9yrs, Cayden 4yrs, and Brady 2yrs.
Cayden is my disabled child, she has cerebral palsy, is cortically blind, has severe brain injuries from birth, can not walk or sit up, but boy does she light up a room with her big smile and cute laugh. So, you can expect to read things relating to disabilities.
Payton loves playing softball and doing 4-H, she is raising hogs this year to show in the Montgomery County Fair, in Conroe, Texas at the end of March 2009. So, I will be posting things about sports and 4-H from time to time.
Brady ohhh Brady he is all boy and into everything! He loves trucks and tractors and watching Sponge Bob.
My husband Shane and I have been married over 15 yrs. I love baseball and enjoy watching many sports. I am Christian and Conservative in my views so I definitely could blog on those subjects!
