Day 24- Bowling night with MD

Owen started the day on his own today and let mom have an early shower after she got him up. It was a very busy day as mom was trying to work out her own issues with her Dr. Office.

After a very rocky start to the day for mom Owen came back from school and cheered her up. The social worker helped mom with the FSCD stuff and then went to bat for mom to help with her problem. Mom was really grateful.

At physiotherapy today Owen stood for 26 minutes. He was feeling a little defiant today and kept bouncing on the tilt table. He ended up bouncing so much he bounced right out of his top velcro. That didn't stop him though. He was so ramped up after PT that he giggled until he cried. Nice to see him that happy!

After that he decided to go to Art Therapy. Top secret as he is not allowed to show mom so mom went to the parent group. Once again parent group was a big help. Seems we are all experiencing similar issues and it was nice to hear that we are normal( as normal as we can be).

At supper the Edmonton Muscular Dystrophy Chapter invited us to Bowling and Pizza and we got to see Terri and Ben. We also got to meet the new person in  charge of services for Alberta. We met a few families we never met before and Owen bowled for the first time in years. So thankful for everything MDC does for us!

When we got back there was a goose and a rabbit on the front lawn of the glenrose and Owen had fun watching them stare at each other.

We finished the night watching Survivor and Duck Dynasty.

On a side note, I have heard a lot about different kids stories here and it humbles me . As much as I tend to feel very tunnel visioned when it comes to our situation, I certainly have a lot to be thankful for!
