Time with Katherine

As you may or may not know, Charlie has a new team member on the therapy side of life.  This is Katherine and she is Charlie's private service coordinator.  She used to be in the theater (stage management and props) but she strayed - lured by her love of kids with big hearts and big needs.  Charlie is her newest kid.  She does everything from helping us file for social services, to attending appointments with me when Jack cannot, to tracking down adaptive equipment, to helping Charlie with ongoing physical therapy.  Here are some shots of our last meeting.

Katherine brought some crayons that are better suited to Charlie's grip issues so that he too can make a little art.  He's still not quite sure what to do with them, but those green hatch marks under his right hand are HIS!  Charlie was able to grip the ball of the crayon (you can see below) and "write" with the pointy tip.  Pretty cool, eh?
