My Prize

Today Joey finished his three week intensive Neuro suit therapy session. He also finished three weeks of Tomatis (listening) therapy. 

The first week of therapy was very frustrating. We didn't see much from Joey. Then the second week things began to happen. He began to get better control of his head and arms. By the end of the third week the changes were very apparent. His head control improved alot, his arm control and his control of his eye's improved.  He began to walk with help from two therapists, with no walker or gait trainer. Although the most exciting thing is he began to talk more and a bit more clear. He made all the therapists cry when he said "I Love You". He would say "Hi" when asked and would say "No" when he didn't want to do something. He is a lot happier.

One of the other children, a five year old girl, asked me what Joey was getting as a prize for doing therapy. She was going to Disneyland for the weekend. Joey got a new puppy. Well the family got a new puppy. His name is Winston. He is a Goldendoodle.

Well thats about it. Please pray that Joey will continue to improve and not hit a plateau.
