Lab results/OT evaluation

   We got Elijah's lab results and he has low trileptal levels so the Dr.  increased his morning dose.  Hopefully this will control the seizures.  The blood work also showed that his vitamin D is still low.  He will be referred to an endocrinologist.  We are just waiting on a call.

  We had Elijah's occupational therapy evaluation today and we are really excited to get started!  They went over what he could do and what we expect him to learn with the therapy.  The therapist is going to look into getting him a soft splint cast to use for his restraint therapy instead of his hard cast.  She is also going to check with our insurance and see if we can get him a seat like the one above for eating.  It would come with a tray.  He is getting too big for his highchair.  We also discussed working with his communication device.  We would like for him to get better with controlling his hand so he can go back to using the buttons instead of eye gaze device.  It would be so much easier for him to carry his ipad around with him.  The eye gaze device is too big and heavy.  We also need to watch his right hand and see if it is a fist when he is sleeping (I don't think it is).  If it is we need to get him a splint to sleep in that will keep it open so it doesn't cause other problems.
