OK so, we were in Michigan for 3 weeks in November for Jake’s intensive therapy. Max came with us so we can officially say, Max has traveled through the states of NY, NJ, PA, Ohio, and MI. But I am so glad to be home and sleep on my own bed. Jake is back in school so we are back to our routine.
I was very conservative and cautious this time, and asked the PT to not push Jake to the extreme in fear of Jake having issues with his right knee, as it happened the last 2 times when we went for intensive therapy. He ended up injuring his right knee and not be able to weight bear for 5 weeks after. So the good news is that Jake did make it through the 3 weeks injury free. But on the other hand, I don’t feel like he made a significant amount of progress at the end of the session because we went easy on him. He is walking a little better during PT with slower and better gait, so hopefully that will continue to improve over time.
I am on hold with the wheel chair dealer at this very moment, it seems as though no one knows right now as to the whereabouts of the stroller. I was told by the dealer 2 weeks ago that Convaid is repairing the stroller under warranty and I was to expect the stroller to be back at the dealer’s shop this week, but so far the stroller is not there yet. As long as the chair is repaired under warranty, I am OK if it gets here a few days later. Hey, better yet if they loose it in transit, maybe they can give Jake a new stroller… wishful thinking, I know.
Max is doing well, holding his head up and all, but I got a little worried when I saw another little boy who is 3 days older than Max, and it seemed that that little boy has even better head control and better muscle tone, so then I was all worried if there is some issues with Max. When will my fear subside?
By the way, I am still on hold while the dealer is trying to call Convaid to locate the chair!?
