Therapy

Judah has had two visits to his therapist since the last post. I got kind of busy and was a few days late so I decided to put two visits in one post. The first visit was an assessment, the second teaching the exercises, and the third checking range of motion.
The Second Appointment: Learning the Exercises
The following pictures are of the therapist teaching the exercises. One "session" consists of four exercises each done ten times. This takes 10-15 minutes. The therapist told us to try to get 3 "sessions" in a day, but if we couldn't, at least two.

Teaching the exercises

After we got home, my Mom tried her hand at it.
We usually lay him on the couch and entertain him with Loony Tunes while doing the exercises. At the end of the week he gets a prize. The prizes so far have been Hot Wheels.

The Third Appointment: Range of Motion
At the third appointment, she simply checked range of motion. We have not got the scores yet, but the therapist said she thinks they haven't changed. I can post them if we get them. If not, on May 1, we go to the orthopedic doctor and I will post those. The check the ones from the last PT appointment go to >>THIS POST<<.
