Fighting Joey: Coming Home!

Coming Home!

Well we leave today to head home. We will be home Monday morning. WHOO HOO! Joey has been excellent this whole trip. Please pray for a safe and quick trip home for us.

We have had so many people ask us if we have seen results. I have noticed little things, but as each day goes by, I continue to question myself if it is just me imagining them or is Joey just having a really good day. Patience, that is my biggest lesson learned through this journey. It will take up to 6 months to really see what type of results we have gotten from the SCT. I always said that I would be more than happy with the smallest results, but I REALLY want the big ones. Once we get home and others see Joey that is when I will know if I am imagining anything or not.

In two weeks we will start Joey's 3 week intensive NeuroSuit session. This will really challenge Joey physically. I can't wait. My sister will have Faith there and my friend from Colorado will also be there with her daughter Makenzie (Joey's Girlfriend). I am hoping to also start HBOT in about 4 months. I just have to save up the monies for that. OH yeah, Joey will also do Tomatis again while at NAPA where he will have the NeuroSuit. After all this I am planning on starting Joey on G-therapy. This is a Homeopathic therapy he will take. He will be on this for years.

Ok, time for me to finish packing and to get us some food before we head out.

Thank you to everyone for keeping up on Joey and our journey to China.

Blessings

NeuroSuit Therapy

NeuroSuit Therapy is an intensive therapy program. You can read more about them by clicking the link above.

Accomplishments: Joey has gained his head and trunk control, learned to sit, crawl, bare weight on his arms and legs. He began talking during NeuroSuit Therapy. He has made more progress during this therapy then any other Physical or Occupational therapy he has done.

Physical and Occupational Therapy

I take Joey to the NAPA Center in Los Angeles 2x/wk, 2 hrs each time. The NAPA Center is also where Joey does his NeuroSuit Therapy. The therapist here are the best. They keep him stretched, loosened and continue teaching him how to work his body.

Tomatis Therapy

This therapy is a listening therapy. Classical music is played at different decipels to train his ear muscles to contract and expand with different sounds.

Accomplisments: He became more grounded, more centered. His eyes focus more and he is much more relaxed. His fime motor skills have also improved.

This is a home program specifically designed for Joey. You can click on the click above to read more about them. This program allows me to work with Joey at home. It compliments the therapy done at the NAPA Center.

Equestrian Therapy

Horse Back Riding. Accomplishments: He has gained incredible trunk control. Click the link for more information.

HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)

This is an hour session where Joey is put in a chamber that supplies him 100% oxygen under pressure. The oxygen penetrates deep into his major organs which increases blood supply. The link will give you more information on the center I take him to.

Accomplishments: Lessen his tone. He has regained his eyesight somewhat. He also has improved cognitively.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information on the therapies.

Cranial Sacral Therapy

This is appro. a 20-45 minute therapy. The best way for me to describe it is it is like chiropractic, nothing is being cracked. The doctor is adjusting your body to get the spinal fluid moving freely through the spinal cord to the brain and to unclog any blocks due to the injury.

Stem Cell Therapy

Joey underwent stem cell therapy in China in August 2009. He received 6 injections. 2 IV and 4 Spinal. You can read all about the therapy on Joey's blog or click the title link for information on the company we went through.

Accupressure

Electric Wave Therapy

Feeding Therapy

Massage Therapy
