Ladies And Gentleman...

We are finished with physical therapy! We have a graduate! Declan was discharged from by his PT today. She said that he is looking very good, but he is lifting up his shoulder when he walks and still tilting a bit to the left. We are working on "maintenance" at this point. We do not have to go to CHOA anymore, but we have to do the stretches/exercises 1-2 times daily. How much longer? I asked her if I would be visiting Declan at college to make sure that he was stretching or doing them for him??? We will have to do them until he is 18 months-2 years old. I had slacked off on the stretches...BAD Mommy...and she could tell :-( but he was looking so good to me. ..apparently not.

Declan thought he was big stuff today and was really showing off for Kim. It was pretty cute! She said he is right on track developmentally and even advanced in the area of fine and gross motor skills. Hey...she is not telling this Mom anything she doesn't know already. Ha ha! So for now we will have to be more vigilant with the stretches and at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so proud of Declan and what a champ he has been through all of this. We are very lucky! He just goes with the flow.
