Well
after a long 22 hours of travelling we finally navigated ourselves to the hotel
in St Louis. It was great to be back in a familiar place. After only
being the hotel for 2 minutes we met a couple of SDR pals.
After
getting some supplies form the local Snuckes thanks to Tim for taking us. We
settled down for an early night.
Before we knew it it was Monday
morning and our first chance to see the amazing children's hospital and
see what Dr Park has to say about Ben's progress. Apart from arriving an hour
early! Yes it was my fault!!! We bobbed to the Bread Company for a quick
coffee.
In Dr Parks office we met up with Abby the amazing
media lady & Erica (from America) the fabulous PT - it felt like
being back at home.
We were called into see Dr Park office, it was like
we were back 19 months previous sat there all nervously waiting to see the
great man himself.
As always in walks Dr Park full of smiles and
Pleased to see us.
We had a long chat & he also took time to
examine Ben asking lots of question & answering all of ours. He
explained the areas we needed to work on & stood by his early prediction
that Ben will walk the majority of the time unaided and will probably
only need a stick for long distances!!! We were amazing as we thought this was
where Ben would & maybe we would see a small amount of improvement but this
again exceeded our expectations. I think Ben was rather pleased too.
Dr Park Left the room, he did bob back in t say he would like to see us again in a years time - So another trip to plan!
Once we had finished we had 30 minutes until our
video PT assessment with Erica, s Damian took, Grandma, Grandad & Jakey off
to the zoo where we would meet them later.
Erica called us in – we had a great chat and caught up on all the gossip. We did have to do so much as it was only the things Ben could not do last time we were there. There was lots of laughter as always when Ben & Erica get together. Before we knew it we were all done and heading off to the zoo.
