So the PT came today, and we had a good session.  Russell is doing better.  He's stronger, and he's walking faster.  We even saw him run once last week!  I asked the PT about whether the hypotonia was worth taking him to a dr, and she said no, that even the muscle weakness in his arms and legs might be caused by the cast.  The cast makes him somewhat immobile, so less movement and strengthening everywhere.  That sounds right to me.  **Huge sigh of relief**

Russell is talking ALL the time now.  I love hearing his soft little voice.  Like tonight at dinner, he kept asking for the "Pittus" (pickles) which were actually beets.  Not sure how those got mixed up.  And then he asked for "I teem" (ice cream) "Peas" (please).  Which means of course he got it.  ha ha.  I cannot resist that cute, soft little voice.
Other words he's saying:
"scaow" = square; "twi" = triangle; "sewka" = circle;
 "otund" = open; "outide" = outside; "tseace" = cheese;
"entee" = empty; "pway" = play; "tuck" = truck;
"but" = book; "tane two" = thank you;
"o wheow tum" = you're welcome
and hot dog, all gone, milk, drink, ball, cars.  So he's communicating really well.  Which means he's screaming a lot less.  (yay!)
