First, I'll start by saying HAPPY EVERYTHING! That includes mom's birthday, our anniversary, mom and dad's anniversary, father's day, family coming in town...
Love the beach!
This one cracks me up because a wave came and Gracie wouldn't put her feet down.
But, the real reason for this post. Here is a small glimpse into what we do daily to help get Griff to where he needs to be.
This is the full view. There are knee immobilizers, heel cord/foot braces, and under it all is the "tickle machine."
These stretch his heel cords to help him stand flat footed.
This is an e-stem machine to stimulate the muscles and help them grow and develop.
We are a little out of routine because of vacation. But, we're getting back in the flow - I promise Ms. Laura (our wonderful PT.) Ideally, Griff would sleep through the night with both sets of braces. But, we can't seem to get him there. He wakes up crying 2-3 hours after we put them on. Instead, our goal is to get them on him for at least 4 hours a day with 30 minutes of the tickle machine. Luckily, "dude" likes tv and that helps him pass the time.
