These have been busy days for Caden as we are finding some rhythm in the new routine. PT has introduced new and more difficult exercises for him to practice, and he continues to work on stabilizing his trunk and strengthening his core.
Caden's favorites at the moment are his race track (where he has to crawl around the perimeter of the living room on all fours - two weeks ago he couldn't crawl more than a yard and now he makes it two laps!) and "Ping Pong Therapy". The latter is just playing assisted ping pong with his brothers, but brings lots of giggles and must involve PT (he stands) and OT (hand-eye coordination), right?
He is now able to use his walker by himself; and we have visited school hallways, malls and supermarkets to do some walking despite the snow and ice outside. The therapist noted this week how much he has improved since they did their initial evaluations. Keep up the hard work, Caden!
We've tried to get out as much as possible, despite the weather. It appears that Caden is talking a little bit more with people outside of the family; it just takes him a little while to get warmed up, literally! :)
