Today's photo is a shot of Tommy with his occupational therapist, Megan. That green blob in Tommy's hand is basically "silly putty" (it's called Theraputy--no kidding--when it's sold for three times the cost of the kids' version and used to help people improve their hand and finger coordination). Tommy's job is to roll it with both hands, pull it like taffy, roll it into a donut and then stretch it thinner by putting it around his cupped fingers, or flatten it out like a miniature crust for a pizza (which he's doing in the photo). Yesterday was Tommy's last session with Megan, who said that Tommy is doing great and that he and I work very well as a team. Yay. We learned a lot from Megan and will miss her.
