Declan had his first weekly PT session today and there is good news to report! He is already making progress! That's our boy! He has not been loving the exercises that we have to do with him. One, it doesn't feel that great and two, it just annoys him. We met our PT, Kim, and she will be his therapist weekly. I loved her and of course she fell in love with Declan immediately! Anyway, she said the stretches we have been doing are working! She can tell that he is able to turn his head further and the muscles are stretching! Great news for D baby! She did give us a few new exercises to do at home, so we will start the new ones tomorrow. I have to thank my sister again, because she is pretty much doing all of the stretches with him. I do them once before bed and she does the others throughout the day. I know it is hard on her to do them, but he would not be progressing if it wasn't for her. So, thank you Aunt Staci!!!
Declan is finally getting his first tooth on top of everything else so it has been kind of a rough week. They will watch him closely as he hits these milestones to make sure that he does not regress. He will try to lean an tilt more when he is in pain or if there is a change because that is comforting to him.
I took some pictures of him today. You are not "supposed" to, but I had to snap a few. I am so proud of our little boy!
GOOOO Declan!
