Check up
February 19th, 2010 Posted in PicturesYesterday, Peter saw the Orthopedic Surgeon to check up on the status of his spine. Everything loooks good and we don’t need to see him again for another year. This is of course great news!
Physical Therapy continues to go well, and we see slow improvement in his gross motor skills. This week, Peter’s therapist (a hockey player herself) even said he could start ice skating anytime! Good news to me who dreams of having a hockey player for a son. :) Unfortunately, I can’t get on skates myself (I think they frown upon this activity for pregnant women), and Tim says that he is not a skater. So I guess Peter’s skating will have to wait until the baby is born. Thank goodness we live in a land where skating rinks run year round. We live only 10 minutes from the Petit Ice Center where many US speed skaters train.
While we were waiting for the doctor yesterday, Peter was being goofy with his gown and paper shorts. Here is a picture of him being silly.

We’ve been glued to the TV with all the Olympics - imagine if we were watching Peter. After what happened with Tim playing football I think it best for you Lani to go with Peter - you certainly don’t need Tim hobbling around with a cast!!! However I do remember him having skating lessons for a little while- I think he has forgotten one of his many talents. Yes Peter is being his silly self - how cute is he in this picture? Just adorable. Love Grandma K

That is great news! I am happy you are seeing changes with the PT, that is wonderful. I did not realize you dreamed of having a hockey playing son, that is cool. I can’t wait to see video and pictures of Peter on skates. I have a friend and all three of her kids skate, her youngest, who I think is 3, plays hockey and it is so darn adorable!

Okay, so he does have the perfect world class hockey player name. That is one jersey I would buy and wear with great joy!
