1st Day of PT & OT
Brandon had his 1st day of Accupuncture yesterday (Tues). It really didn’t go well. He was very upset & it took us awhile to get him calmed down, but we finally did. It’s not so much that it hurt so bad it was just the idea of all those needles. However, it does hurt a little. It only lasted about 20 min. and he was amazed how much it didn’t hurt to remove the needles. Next we had Electric Wave therapy. That is where they put small electrodes on his muscles, he fell asleep during this procedure. : ) Later in the day he had about 45 min. of therapy. He was pretty tired by then and he took a nice long nap afterwards. All in all it wasn’t a real bad day just a long one. He will have his IV treatment today, along with another day of PT & OT.
Thank you all for sending your comments, I love reading them. It makes it a little easier knowing we can keep in touch this way. I want to say hello to Egill Helgason from Iceland. Brandon does have SMA type 3. He’s 4 yrs. old and was diagnosed about 2 yrs ago. Take care everyone and we all miss you.
