Home for 1 month

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Hello All, We have been home for slightly over one month with the following changes:  1) Recovered steps (walking style with knees up) that Ryan had displayed about 18 months ago.  2) Teachers and therapists report better head control and eye engagement (Suzanne and I do not notice any change here, but we may be to close).  That’s it so far.  The following areas have NO change:  seizures, spasticity/tone/flexibility/clonus, displayed cognitive ability (ie. answering correctly on his Vanguard communication device or making appropriate statements with it; also, no improvement in the use of his computer programs), hand-eye coordination (OT), oral motor skills, bowel/bladder control or insomnia.  We are only two months from the initial treatment and five weeks from the final treatment.  I will continue to update as changes occur or time passes.  Thanks to all who have continued to read Ryan’s blog and offer support.  Take care.  Dan
