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.

The poor little guy, that had to be a looong hour for him. So is Benign Congential Ligament Laxity something that can be fixed from PT?

Happy the appointment went well.

Heart Hugs.
