Most of you know that Jack has been in physical therapy for a little over 3 months now. After several test right before Christmas, we determined that Jack has some gross motor skill delays and mild hypotonia. Which means that he need some help building his muscles. We started PT right after his birthday. He could not sit up on his own let alone crawl. He has done extremely well! He was sitting up after only 2 sessions and crawling after about a month in therapy. His therapist, Durga, is great! She pushes him (which is what he needs) yet is so kind all at once. Lately Durga has really kicked it up a notch to get Jacks walking underway. He gets on the treadmill, does the leg press machine and practices holding himself up. Today I took some pictures of his session. Matt has not been able to go with us before so I wanted him to see what he does. I'm not sure we want to remember all of this but it is part of our life. It will be fun to look at later when hes a track star! I posted a couple of videos with the least amount of protest. Just like his mommy, Jack is not a fan of working out!!
The waiting room has lots of cool toys!
Walking to our room
Almost there Jack!!
Not a fan of the leg press today
Durga made it up to Jack with an Incredible Hulk sticker! Did the trick!
I am a Georgia native who met her wonderful husband at a Braves game in 2003. We were married in September 2006 and in January of 2009 we welcomed a son into our family. I am a x-sales diva turned mom extraordinaire (Ha!). I am blessed to stay home with my son and be hands on with his learning and exploring of life! I am lucky to have a great family and wonderful friends to spend time with.
