Fighting Joey: 2nd in Costa Rica

2nd in Costa Rica

Today is Sunday in Costa Rica. We started off the day welcoming the ABM practioner, she came in really early this morning. After breakfast and some goofing around we decided to go have some lunch and site see. We went to the butterfly garden. It is a beautiful place.

We all had a great time together. Then back to the hotel for a little relaxation. Ok, so maybe not much relaxation. Joey again today was very fussy. Whether I held him or not he was fussy. My back is starting to ache real bad. After dinner he finally calmed down a bit. Our friends came to hang out in our room and we starting goofing around some more.

Tomorrow (or today depending on when you are reading this) Joey has his evaluation at the ICM clinic in the morning, then his ABM session, then off to the hospital for this catheter insertion for the Stem Cells. I am getting very excited know JOey is going to get more stem cells.

Please pray Joey will calm down and not be so fussy anymore.

P.S again I have posted more pics and video on www.dropshots.com/fightingjoey

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.

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.
