Progress..........slow but steady!

As many of you know from my last post, Joey has been going to suit therapy again. Unlike the first time Joey went to suit therapy, Joey's progress this third time around is slow.  I have noticed that his fine motor skills within his hands have gotten better. He brings his fingers together when he hadn't before. He also seems to be trying to suck. His tongue and cheek movement have improved. His cognitive awareness has definately improved and his feet have also improved do to his AFO's that he wears. 

We still has two more weeks of intensive suit therapy left. Our goals for him are to get him to roll over continuously from tummy to back and vice versa. We also are trying to get him to walk in his gait trainer while wearing his AFO's. This seems to be a challenge for him (forgetting the fact that he doesn't like his AFO's). Of course I wish and pray for faster progress, but will accept his progress slow as long as he continues to progress.

Otherwise, Joey is a very happy boy these days. He is eating well and waking up too early in the morning. His school is on hold for these three weeks of suit therapy. I'm sure he misses his friends. Only two weeks left, then he returns to school.

I'll post more pics soon.

Blessings Always
