physical therapy...

Today we went to our first session of physical therapy for Sullivan's neck.... it went really well. We learned several stretches that will help his torticollis...we will need to do the series of stretches at least 8 times a day in addition to weekly therapy sessions at the hospital. Our therapist's name is Jeannie...she was really good with Sullivan and let Henry join in too... we didn't want him to feel left out. Basically, I learned by watching her stretch Sullivan and practicing on Henry... lucky him! I guess it will get easier as I learn the stretches and he gets used to stretching. We had some tears today but not as many as when I stretch him at home...we learned how to stretch him so that he has some fun in the process. They predict he will need to be in therapy for 4-6 months to treat the tight muscles. If it goes untreated it can lead to some significant motor delays. We don't want that. Our neurologist appointment got moved until Friday of this week it was supposed to be Wednesday... Tomorrow we go to Cranial Technologies for our 3-D images of Sullivan's head.... these will be needed in order for them to make his DOC band. Any who... that is the update from here...
oh, if you are reading this now and wonder what all of this means you can go back and read a past post titled "perks of being baby a"... enjoy!
