The week before last, Monkey was in full-day soccer camp, and only had one VCD episode all week. He’s at overnight camp now, and so far as I know, has not had any episodes yet. (He will write home and tell me if he has any episodes, but of course it takes some time for me to receive his notes.) He seems to really have the breathing and posture down.
So, we’re in a good place at this point. He’s dropped the IMT training for the summer since he felt awkward about doing it at camp. I hope he will do it more regularly during the fall, so that he’ll be well-prepared for PE class in the winter semester, and spring soccer in the spring (duh). My guess is that that is all it will take to get his number of episodes down to zero. If that doesn’t do it, we will probably try the spiriva for soccer season.
