Amazing Udate
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 3:04 pm
Cole and I returned from Philly on Friday. Cole had another round of botox to his internal rotators, with no casting this time. (Last year with cast).
I was not certain what to expect after the botox shots...but what we are seeing now is absolutely unbelievable. Before this second round, Cole was definitely functional and still making gains. I always celebrate what he has, but could always see where some movements were not easy or possible.
NOW, I look so hard with my Mamma eyes and I am AMAZED at what I see! He scratches the back of his neck with ease, he has passed the"cookie test", he has completely supinated to look at his "dirty" hand, and when he asks, "where'd gramma go?", his right arm looks just like lefty. Needless to say, I am in awe!
Of course I still am uncertain of what will come or go, but you know that celebrating is sooooooo important!
We begin therapy again 2x a week. I will keep you informed.
I just wanted to share my joy!
