Life is always so crazy busy for me that I never find time to blog. I really need to schedule into my week...somewhere! I think most of you know about Will's upcoming trip out West, but I thought I should probably tell the rest of you!
Mr. Will and I are going to be leaving for Kansas City on Mother's Day for a little adventure! The next day May 13th Will has an evaluation at the Hyperbaric Healing Institute (www.hhi-kc.com) to begin a three week intensive therapy session! He will be wearing a special therapeutic suit that will make his brain more aware of what his body is doing. That's the short, simple version anyway. The therapy is everyday, 5 days a week, for three weeks. He will finish on May 31st. The hope is that after so many hours in the intensive therapy suit, his brain will remember the correct way for his body to move (again, in simple terms), and he will make some measurable progress. If you're interested in more information you can look here...www.suittherapy.com/. This website is full of information, click on TheraSuit Method. This therapy is often used for children with cerebral palsy, although that is not Will's diagnosis.
Phil and I are excited about the timing of this therapy. Will has a strong desire to be independent. He tries to stand up often. When we help him stand he says, "Ok, now let me go". I wish I could! I think with his "will" and the structure of the therapy...we could see amazing results! Of course, I'm not expecting miracles or anything like that...just positive thinking!
