Water Therapy today-Asking for prayers

[Guest guest]

GL . BTW, I bet you can't figure out what GL means! (yeah, I'm real

clever over here)

Seriously, I hope that all goes well today and you are in my prayers. Keep us

updated on how it goes, although I believe it will go well.

Looking forward to that party this summer (or atleast hearing about how tired

you are from chasing around everywhere!) :-)

Best wishes to you this afternoon,

Freeman

PS, my dh is too frugal to buy me another ring...he just says... " take your

rings off if they bother you. " with this " what are you telling me for? " look.

Oh well....*sigh*.....

Hope it works for you though!!!!LOL

I just wanted to add, we are starting our water Therapy today for

. For those who don't know, he's kinda a hard case and Dr. P and

the Dr. here have consulted and said that what he needs to be doing is

standing up flat feet and walking. He refuses. I work with him every

hour for 30 minutes on standing, plus therapy and he will stand

alright, he jsut wont put any force on his feet to make them flat.

There isn't anything else they can do as we lost so much ground with

this last casting, as in pulling himself up, standing flat, talking a

few steps. We've been out of casts for almost 3 weeks now and he is

just pulling himself up again. He's had two surgeries, one non

ponseti and last one with ponseti part of it involved that

capsulectomy thingy. They don't want to put him back in casts, they

want him to walk. But in the meantime, his feet aren't fully

corrected and he is already 15 months.

Sooooo someone....shawnee... said what about getting him in the

water? The pools here are so darn cold, but the therapy pools are

shallow and heated and sure enough, it was a fabulous idea to try. So

please, keep us in your prayers this afternoon. Pray that he will

just thrive in these sessions and be able to come back and do it some

more and put those darn feet flat!!! I have come to the realization

that I am o.k. with whatever God has planned for , because it's

for his best, but that doesn't stop me from asking for my hearts

desires!

My goal is to get him walking by summer, I want to through a big

party, and I want to see him running around the back yard!!! And let

me tell you, you will all be invited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

, you know you always have my prayers. I hope will thrive with the

water. It's very very common to use water for therapy and this just may be the

trick. Aidan goes to PT weekly, not for his feet but just because of the

preemie thing. Anyway, she says whenever he's out of his shoes rub the bottom

of his toes and really stimulate and play with the feet as much as possible.

There are so many nerve endings in the hands and feet and it sounds like he just

needs to be reminded that those little things at the ends of his legs are made

for walking and they are a part of his body.. Best of luck and Happy Swimming!

Hugs, Jenn

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. and one more time, WRONG!!! It means Great Laughs

It really meant Good Luck, but I am sure you are bright enough to have

figured that one out....right??

Hope everything went well today, I haven't finished reading the posts

yet..hopefully you have updated already and I just haven't got to it yet..

I didn't realize he was pulling himself up again, that's a great

start. He will do well with the water therapy. You have our prayers.

We hope you had a great time in the pool today!

I was just thinking about you last night. I take my kids swimming on Tuesday

nights while my husband is teaching an evening class. Anyway, as Jonah and

Hannah were splashing around, I was wondering if had started his therapy

yet. I know Jonah just loves the water. We usually bring a couple of balls and

floaty toys(a rubber duck, a little boat)and I have him kick his way chasing

those around--holding onto him, of course.

I sure do hope you have as much fun as we do!

We threw a huge party when Jonah started walking. We hadn't had a birthday

party when he turned a year old, so it was a great time to get all our friends

over and CELEBRATE! We set out all his casts(he had 4 months of casting before

we switched to a Ponseti doctor) and the footrints they took at birth. Next big

party is when he is released from the FAB in about 3 years....

All our best.
