Wanda's life is ruled by therapists for Hyrum. Day in and day out therapy continues, unabated. In theory it is a wonderful thing (and in reality too) as Hyrum has developed and grown so very much due to the extensive therapy that occurs nearly all day, every day of his life. But it also means that whatever else must go on in the family has to revolve around therapy, and with 12 children, there is a lot that goes on every day. Today there were four different therapist rotating in and out from 8 am to 7 pm. They are fantastic ladies, each trying their best to break into Hyrum's world, and they've succeeded wonderfully! What is also wonderful is that they include whatever other child is in the home, if said child desires. They play games, do crafts, pretend, clean up, help in bodily functions, and are cheerleaders for our Hyrum.

I wrapped and wrapped and wrapped gifts. And while I wrapped and Hyrum had therapy, Wanda took Ruth, Mo, Adam, and Eve to buy sibling gifts. Joshua had fallen asleep but when he woke he was inconsolable. When Wanda got home, Adam was fussing about his ear hurting. Wanda was able to put two and two together and realized that Joshua was probably not feeling well either and he seemed to be running a temp. Robert took the two to Dodgeville Hospital which is also their urgentcare and learned both boys have ear infections and yucky throats. A script for each, a trip to walmart to fill the script and some happy boys returned, took their meds, and life is so much better :)
