5 skull to keep his neck stable. I remember people feeling so sorl)' for him, poor baby. have to chuckle, Daviq hCls never been so pClin free. He was immeqiCltely happy Clnq starteq leClrning many new things while still in thClt halo. when we left the hospital the qodor stClteq DClviq shoulq qo greClt now, as long ClS he qon't starve to qeath. Daviq has been hospitalizeq numerous times from situations that rClnge from Clspiration pneumonia, seizures thClt cause him to stop breathing in 90 seconqs to me just being paranoiq. He qiq have a feeqing tube placeq because he stoppeq eating by mouth after the qouble neck surgeI)' anq he was vel)' tadile qefensive. Hateq to have people touch him, especially arounq his throat. So baq that he woulq throw up. Daviq has thriveq que to the superb care from 11 specialists anq the programs he is.involveq with in the school anq the county. He has haq the most optimal opportunities to make his life successful. The qodors have finally quit preqiding his qeath as he has far surpasseq their wilqest qreams of life for him. Thanks to the technology that the county has funqeq, Daviq has the equal opportunity to become a "typical" little boy. I also feel because of the county programs anq the absolute qevotion anq care of Socia I services, (Christine has not misseq one school meeting!) Daviq is alloweq to be healthy anq leaq a safe anq fu ndiona I life. He still has a way to go. Each year he gets stronger anq healthier. He still qoes not crawl like a typical boy (he commanqo crawls) he still won't eat by mouth (it has been proven that he can but for some reason he won't) anq he cannot communicate his pains or his wishes (he hCls learneq over 4.0 new worqs, he just neeqs to learn the power of them), he has no qepth perception (but he has finCllly learneq to tl)' to break his fall with his hanqs ifhe loses his balance) He is still a high risk for hurting himself. He will still roll off the couch if alloweq to anq he still hits himself with objects, perioqicCllly hCls breClk through seizures that are not controlleq by meqicines. Has uncontrolleq phlegm that 2 qodors are working to finq the cause (EClr, nose anq throat Clnq the GastriCll/lntestinCl/) He likes to . throw heClVY objects unaware of how it hurts himself or others. ContinuCllly banging his heaq. As he is unClble to communicate what qoes hurt, I am continually seeking the qodors aqvice to make certClin he is not bClnging his heaq from pClin. We believe it is his way of getting what he wClsn't becCluse if we turn on one of his shows 0'" pay attention to him he quits. He has to be continually superviseq on the floor ClS well. when he commanqo crClwls he will go to the cupboClrqs anq tClke out all of the pans (sounq typicalO but then he will shut his nngers in the qoor. His bowels have to be monitoreq so he qoesn't get pluggeq up Clnq hClve to be hospitalizeq for that as well. His beq h:lS to hClve vel)' high rClils as he cCln pull himself to Cl kneeling position anq I qon't want him to pull himself over the rails Clnq fall to the floor. His beq has to be high enough to promote heCllthy mechanics for lifting ClS well as to keep him from Clny qrafts that woulq compromise his immunity Clny further.
