This was Mason's therapy session on Tuesday! He's loving this so much!

Mason taking his Daddy, brothers, and Lucas's friend for a ride on the military dump truck yesterday.

I'm sick so I sat out in the car today but was able to watch him through the window for a bit. She said he stayed on the walker the whole hour and he even walked to the car in it. She's going to see if there's a different style because he struggled with a few things that particular walker does. He does much better in that style than the one we have. He was also pretty sassy with her and would stand in front of the window just staring out and not do anything 🤦🏼‍♀️

This was the first time Mason used this thing. It is not ours but I'm hoping to get Mason something like this.

I love the work they do because it's great for eye and hand coordination. He's not there a full day yet but I'm told he's always doing a bunch of works. They love how curious and eager he is!

This wasn't available when I had Mason but I also more then likely didn't qualify for the fetal surgery anyway. If I did, I don't think it would have worked for our family. I would have spent 10+ weeks in Cincinnati. They're the closest to us that offers fetal surgery.

The congenital condition spina bifida is often treated surgically in the womb, but many children still go on to have mobility issues. The addition of a patch made up of stem cells from donated placentas could improve their long-term outcomes

Mason's studio responsibility for the week is cleaning the tables and he was finishing it up when I got there to pick him up. The week before he went into the hospital, he was picking trash up off the floor.

Mason had PT today and he hasn't done this in a long time. He used to hate it but I'm hoping he'll like it more now and start doing it again. She said that he was doing a lot of walking before I came in but I was impressed with what I saw!
