School is going well. He continues to make more and more friends and everyone is so very helpful. I have met some of the parents are volunteers around the school, as well as most of the staff, and continue to be surprised by their supportiveness.
Dallas has went to Chuck E. Cheese a few times over the last couple of weeks. Once, just to go as a family and have fun. Another time was for a school fundraiser. At the fundraiser, he saw a bunch of friends from school and played with them for hours! He had such a great time.
He has also had friends over to play on a couple of occasions. So he continues to build his social status within the community as well as his mental state improving.
Therapy is going pretty good as well. This coming Tuesday, he will be going into the pool for his therapy session. They will be focusing on stretching and strength training from now until surgery.
Speaking of surgery, Dallas has quite a few reservations about this. He is very scared and doesn't want to go back through surgery. There are numerous occasions on which he has cried about this, and we have to console him, and explain to him that it is needed so that he can continue to get better.
We don't have a surgery date as of yet, but should know at our next visit to Dr. Molnar in April.
Dallas has been signed up for Victory Junction Summer Camp as well. There is a week dedicated to children who are burn survivors, have skin disorders, as well as facial disorders and disabilities.
Unfortunately, I have found out that the camp week is around the end of June. So depending on his surgery date, he may not be able to attend.
I know Dallas is very excited about Spring! We are already planning trips to the playground, the national forest, looking into going camping, going swimming, and so much more. Hopefully Dallas will be able to enjoy a few months of fun before having to go through surgery and having a 15+ week recovery period.
I will take more pictures soon to update the site with.
