Daily Log~ Wednesday Progress

Dylan did a great job yesterday.  He spent a half hour in the stander~ video posted.  He wore his elbow splint on his left arm for about 20 minutes. (We are working up to wearing it all night long.)  He had a long, relaxing bath and a massage.  He ate well at all meals.  We also read a few books and played with the ipad for vision therapy.  We used the Sparkabilities app.  I love the app, but it is very glitchy and keeps quitting.  Dylan did a great job tracking and keeping his glasses on. He also did a great job keeping his head up~ we read the books and used the ipad on the couch.  (He is supposed to wear his glasses all the time.  However, he seems to not like them and either takes them off himself, or asks to have them off.  We are working on getting him to wear them all the time.)  He also spent about a half hour last night in his positioning chair and ate cheez its.  He did a great job feeding them to himself.

This coming year, 2012,  is the year of miracles.  Dylan WILL get stronger and gain more independence and movement.  He WILL learn to walk.  And he WILL have fun during all his therapies to the point where he doesn't even realize that he is "working."
