Jackson update

It's amazing how often you can ask for help and just as you say it or they arrive, you don't need it anymore!! Jackson was ordered physical therapy for his low muscle tone that we knew was due to his small size and low nutrition. I called early intervention to set this up back in June and all in all it took about 2 months for his first true appt with Angie, his PT. His goals that were set up were to be able to sit without assistance. He turned 9 months and still was not sitting unsupported and his time sitting with support was limited. He is to get on his hands with straight arms, knees and crawl. He is to pull to standing and take a few step unassisted and more steps while holding onto someone's hands.

Angie seems to be a magical wand as every time she has come over, he does something he hasn't done before!!

Yesterday was his first appt. Already he is sitting up by himself, clapping his hands, he's not crawling but both arms are extended now and he's getting up and rocking on his knees. He's also attempting to pull himself to standing!! Angie was impressed, way to go Jacky!!!

Can we all just say a collective OMG?!
