PBMT - Day 267

Adrian showed significant improvement at the Physio session this afternoon at DK. He can hop on a trampoline for like 10 seconds before he stops. He repeats this a few times until he tires himself out. However, he still can't jump/hop on the ground (without the help of a trampoline) but at least this was a huge milestone for him. On the other hand, he still needs to be held (hands) each time he's walking on the kids gym parallel bars. Definitely room for improvement on his balacning techniques.

PBMT - Day 263

After dropping Adrian off to school, both Papa & Mama headed to QM without Adrian!!! It all started with a request we put in back in June to retrieve a list of Adrian's medical records so doctors in Canada can follow up Adrian's case when we return home. However, we received a letter from the Report Unit earlier this month asking us to pay over 10K for the records. Fortunately, they gave us the option to go in and look through the records and only pay for the ones we need and that's why Papa took the day off for this mission. We spent the whole morning sifting through over 2,000 pages of medical records and finally decided on roughly 200 pages that we truly need. We'll need to get a big binder and dividers for all these records to bring home.

PBMT - Day 262

Adrian was brave enough he walked up the stairs to the school, didn't cry when we entered the classroom but couldn't hold up anymore as Mama was putting his school bag into the shelf. Mama realized it's a big improvement for Adrian already. It's funny the teacher mentioned one of boys there really like to hang out with Adrian. It's true the minute we got in, the little boy already picked up Adrian's photo and handed over to him to put into the "Present" column. When we were about to put Adrian's schoolbag into the shelf, he followed us and started his "baby" talk. It's coincidence enough both of them share one word in common (i.e. 希 ) in their Chinese name.

PBMT - Day 260

Other than school in the morning, we had physio at DK after lunch and a last minute appointment at the TCM clinic in Central. Adrian has had the Piriton Syrup for over a week and he still has the runny nose. So Mama decided to give the TCM clinic a call and we got the last time slot of the day. We waited almost an hour before we got to see the doctor. Adrian got prescribed 10 doses of herbs to deal with his runny nose and cough. Those were to add onto the existing chinese herbs that we still have.

Below is the first artwork Adrian did at school. Obviously the teacher did most of the cutting and taping and Adrian scribbled on top of the flower!

PBMT - Day 259

Adrian cried the minute we entered the classroom this morning. He wouldn't want to let Mama go even though he saw his favourite cars in the toy shelf. The Teaching Assistant later carried him and Mama quietly slipped away. Fortunately he was all good after school...

PBMT - Day 258

We registered Adrian to join a BB Summer Party at Cyberport. Was there in May and this is our second time there. Adrian wasn't shy anymore and he's eager to play on different toys and stuff. There was a running competition for kids his age and obviously he's not the winner because he didn't follow instructions!!! It was fun afterall and the kids got a chance to play with water, sang some songs and played some games together other than the free time exploring around the playroom.

PBMT - Day 256

Our entire household is enjoying the day off because of Typhoon Nuri. It's the strongest typhoon of the year so far. Adrian has had the runny nose since Sunday and he's developed some mild cough lately. Hope he'll have some well deserved rest and get well soon.
