Home safe and sound
We have been home for 5 days now and are quickly getting back into routine. Mum & Jared are very happy to have us home again and the feelings mutual. Mum was very impressed with Corey’s ability to sit unsupported. When we put him in the sitting position and stay close correcting him for a minute or so, he relaxes in that position to the point now where we can move back from him. We need to make sure that if he does fling himself back that he can’t hurt himself. This is a big improvement for him. He can now play with his brother in the sand pit (picture below), sit and play in the sand on the beach and much more. I think this has given him more confidence in himself as he reaches out more and tries more things.
Mum was also impressed in how he can lift his walker when turning and how much better control he has of his left hand (where previously this hand was fairly tight). He can now hold a mug with two hands and drink independently, where previously he had to use a sipper cup. He’s still talking lots, we have to be careful what we say around him as he repeats things constantly.
He had his first Physio session on Friday. He cooperated well with Terese. Terese works a lot on his coordination, where in China they concentrated on his stretching, in particular his legs. Terese noticed the improvement in his torso and we are all looking forward to the coming months.
Once again thanks to everyone for your comments they were very supportive.
