Amazing!

We're gearing up for a busy few weeks. Henry has fittings for his braces, and a meeting with the anesthesiologist this week. He's already met with one PT and his ET. We went over some vision stimulus tools. They call it augmentative and alternative therapy. We have a light box on loan, and a toy hooked to a switch. It's Henry's first attempt at cause and effect using a switch. The light startles him, so we'll introduce both things slowly. I love the light box. I think we could even use it without the light on.

Light Box

Switch box. We plug the box intot he outlet, plug the ball and the 'switch' into the box.

'Switch' for henry to turn on the toy. It response with a light touch instantly.

The toy lights up and rotates when triggered by the 'switch'

Toy when not triggered.

We'll continue to try adding these excersizes to his daily routine. There are only so many hours in a day!

We've also just got instruction on massage. Henry's tummy sometimes gets uncomfortable from his eating issues. He can't take in enough water so suffers from bouts of constipation. The message should help 'move things along.'

That's what we did Monday! Bring on Tuesday! 

Etsy and Facebook

We are currently attempting to marry this blog, the facebook page and your stores in the attempts to raise awareness for Cerebral Palsy and funds for a van for Henry.

We can't sell other peoples handmade items. If you would like to list an item in your Etsy store (donate funds made from that item through the link on this blog), let us know it's for Henry's Heroes and we'll advertise your shop and the items for sale for donation!

There's an example of how it could look in your Etsy store at Rebecca's Whims. Rebecca has committed to adding the total from the sales of the items in the Henry's Heroes section, to the link on the right of this blog! We'll be able to keep a running total! :-)


Another way that we can raise $$ is to sell space on our blog. Simply send an image no larger than 200x200 pixels and the web address you'd like to like to, (blogs, etsy stores, other sites!) and we'll put it up on this blog! There aren't a lot of visitors yet, and prices will reflect that. Email me for details. (tritegreen @ gmail.com)
