About a week and 1/2 ago Finn went on the baby treadmill for a second time. This time he was miserable. He cried the whole time BUT he walked more on his own than he did the first time. Which was very encouraging to his PT. She still wants to go ahead with our plan to get a consultation with the pediatric doctor who specializing in making these special walkers. We have an appt in July, unfortunately we found out this particular practice does not accept our health insurance. If our medicaid and BCMH acceptance letters come through then they will be able to help us, if not we are not sure what we will do. From what I have heard this place is the only place that makes this particular kind of walker...and out of pocket for this will be like thousands of dollars. I guess we will just wait and hope that our assistance will come through. I would hate to think that Finn will have to go without something that is critical in his therapy because of our financial issues.
Our little family has been on vacation for the past 10 days to celebrate Finn's birthday and spent time up at Atwood lake. Finn loves it up there. He loves being outside and being around all the family. Today was his first OT session in like a week. I was so impressed with how well he did today. His arms, hands, and shoulders were so easy to get loosened up. He was happy with the new toy his therapist brought for him. He was reaching out and touching it not just with his left hand but with his right too. He was very accepting to all the oral stimulation we were giving him. He just never stops amazing me. His OT even said today that he keeps exceeding their expectations of him. There is just no stopping him!
Also, it has been over 2 weeks since we stopped the ACTH and still no signs of seizures :)
That is great news about the seizures not returning. I'm sure this is an anxious time for you guys. He is a strong little boy who doesn't put limits on himself. :D
