Physical Therapy Update

Liam had his Physical Therapy Appointment yesterday. It went really well. She did a lot of neat things with him to get him to play on the floor. Liam is very flexible and I forgot to mention in the last update that at his 1 year doctor appointment the peditrician thinks he has what Kyra Hope and Aryanna have. the Benign Congenital Ligament Laxity, which means their joints are really loose. Liam is so flexible that he can bend all his fingers backwards and his feet too. His legs bend all the way behind his head also just like Kyra Hope was, So the Physical Therapist said its going to take longer to work with him since he has this condition she also made these shorts out of an ace bandage that will constrict his legs from going over his head and that will teach him fast how to use his legs and get stronger instead of being so flexible. Liam has a lot of work ahead of him. She worked with him for a full hour and poor Liam looked worked but she has decided that Monday and Tuesdays will be good for 30 min sessions until he can build up to the hour. Liam looked like he was having fun playing with all the new toys and he did good for 45 min but was starting to get upset when he was tiring out. We are so happy that he is getting the help he needs so he can start being a "Normal Baby" I just have been so sad for him not being able to be crawl after his brother and sisters and he just watches and laughs when they run by. I can't wait for the day he is the one running by. Liam will be having Speach Therapy also i am waiting for that Therapist to call to set an appointment, I will update on that too. I posted more pictures of Liam i forgot to post in the last update.

FINALLY A UPDATE

I am so sorry its been a while, we have been so busy and i hardly have time to sit and update. Liam has been doing really well. He was sick on Halloween with a fever but i think it was from the 4 shots he got at his 1 year old check up earlier that morning. I will post his Halloween pictures soon.Liam had a Cardiology appt on October 24th and everything looks good, She didn't get a good look at the Glenn because he was moving around too much but she said he is doing well and his 02 sats are running 86 to 91. Liam had his RSV shot on November 5th and will get them monthly thru the RSV season, his next RSV shot is December 3rd. He will be getting his Flu shot on Wednesday. My poor baby and all his shots. Liam weighs 16 pounds and 2 ounces. Liam's first tooth popped thru on the bottom on Friday October 24th he is soo cute and another next to it looks like it will be in soon. Liam isn't cranky with the teeth but he is just not wanting to eat which is very frustrating to us. I have tried number 3 foods so he can get use to the texture but he really isn't ready to eat it since he chokes on it and throws everything up that he eats. I FINALLY GOT A PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOR LIAM!!! He is going Tomorrow at 9 am. I am soo happy. He was suppose to be there today at 9 am but i wrote down the wrong time for his appt so tomorrow is his first day. He will be going Monday and Tuesday every week or more after she evaluates him tomorrow. Liam can sit up but can't reach over to grab things or he will fall, I am hoping that withthis PT he can get stronger and start crawling before the summer. I want to Apologize for not posting sooner but after Liam's 1st Birthday we had our other childrens birthday to get ready for and we have been busy since. I am thankful that you leave comments and prayers still for Liam. These pictures are of Liam of the last couple months for his big 1st bday and some other pictures afterwards . I will be updating on his PT/ST appointment and other updates. I almost forgot, Liam is getting a big Vocabulary, he says Doggy, Baby, Ba Ba, ALL GONE!!! Whenever he finishes eating we say all gone and he says that when he doesn't want anymore food. He makes animal noises for a monkey and he says HEEEE HAW FOR A DONKEY ITS SOO CUTE! He can say clap as he claps his hands and he loves music and will hum to it if he hears some. Liam is so amazing and puts a smile on my face everyday.
