“In Canada, 22% of the population lives with a disability, but that number is not reflected in our advertisements, films, and television shows. Dear Everybody aims to create a shift in the media landscape by encouraging brands and companies to start generating inclusive messaging and advertising. We’re encouraging the public to sign the agreement and join us in demanding inclusive and diverse representation.”

#DearEverybody is a campaign by @hollandbloorview that encourages inclusiveness and diversity in companies advertisement. Have you seen the Facebook post that went viral because a little boy was super excited seeing a boy in a wheelchair on an advertisement? Because that boy was like him, as he was also using a wheelchair.

That’s what this campaign is about.
It also reduces the stigma and raises awareness.

We’re almost done our admission and while we’re looking forward to being back home, I’m sad to lose the excellent therapy and care he’s been receiving here.

Hopefully we can use the progress he’s made here to keep the momentum going at home.

He’s been struggling more with his seizures while he’s been here, but we’re hoping that once we’re back home things will settle back down 🤞🏻

Because your first broken bone is somewhat of a milestone, it shall have a permanent spot on our Instagram feed.

Timothy is feeling much better and is excited for his permanent cast next week as it will be much more comfortable and padded 👏🏻
He’s still adjusting to living life without the use of one arm but he’s slowly figuring it out 💪🏻

Shane said everyone was almost more concerned over his 3.5 year old scars, as it completely threw them for a loop 🙄 I mean, I guess. But hello! That clearly wasn’t the issue at the moment 😅

This little man got to go swimming today 🥰

He loved it! The water is so good for him 👏🏻

We also went on a fun adventure today, but I need to edit those photos first before I can share 🤭

Water play in the stander has been one of our favourite activities lately.
It helps strengthen his little legs while also giving him fun sensory play. We love multitasking 💪🏻

We have one week left during this admission, and look forward to making the most of it 👏🏻 he’s been doing really great during sessions, showing off his sweet skills 💪🏻

Never a dull moment at our house, that’s for sure.
On Tuesday, Shane was on his way to Bloorview for a day visit and to be a part of Ethans Family Team meeting when he got a call that Timothy fell while playing. He rushed back home and spent the rest of the day in the ER, as Timothy unfortunately broke his arm.

He’s doing better, resting and already slightly annoyed with the cast and that he can’t go do everything he would like to. While they did need to take him to the O.R. to set the arm, it was a quick procedure and everything went well.

It was hard not being there, while Timothy needed mommy snuggles and comfort but daddy was a champ and everyone back home is keeping Timothy comfortable and happy.

Our discharge date has been set for August 14th, so we have just over a week left. Ethan has been doing awesome with therapy all week, finally letting everyone work with him and he is definitely stronger and more coordinated when we last left - so all our work at home is definitely paying off. Sometimes it’s easier to see the progress as an outsider, because we see Ethan daily and are also very much aware of the things that are still a struggle. But we’re trying hard to celebrate the little milestones and improvements because they’re all a step in the right direction.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
With many unknown obstacles but we will continue to do our best to overcome them, or find ways to work around them 💪🏻
