Ethan had OT this morning and he is doing soooo great! He is now getting into sitting positon all by himself and can get into tall kneeling. Such an accomplishment for a little guy who has been through so much. Mrs. Vickie, his Occupational Therapist has been working with him on strengthening his core muscles. He has hypotonia and not much strength in his core muscles. Today she used a pillow case to give him cues to keep his belly up off of the ground when he crawls and he did great! He was in the best mood!! Because he is doing so good we are backing his OT down to once a month which is great and awesome and I'm so proud but I will really miss seeing our OT every other week. But not to worry 'cause I've gained a friend for life! She is amazing, caring, patient and a has a dedication to children like no other. I'm so happy that God has brought her into our life!
I'm a child of God, a daughter to wonderful parents, wife to an amazing husband, Mother to 4 little Hams and a friend to many. Our youngest son was born 6 weeks premature with multiple birth defects. He is Globally Developmentally Delayed, Intellectually Disabled and has a diagnosis of a Defect in Complex I of his Mitochondria. Follow us while we learn our new "typical". We are living and learning everyday and praising God every moment for our blessings!
