So Hubercito started Occupational Therapy a couple days ago. For those of you who don't know what makes that different from his physical therapy, Occupational is focused more on grasping, writing, picking up toys, etc etc while physical is more stretching the muscles.
Apparently from my understanding, this county has 1 occupatinal therapist who will work with Huber. Nice lady. She studied a massage therapy called Oigong. Has anyone ever heard of this? It's an eastern medicine way to help a child. Believing that Cerebral Palsy babies have a blockage in their necks that is keeping the brain from communicating with his arms, legs etc. So anyways we will begin this after the holiday vacations they all take. There are like 12 movements they go through, each helping a certain area or problem. It sounds kind of cool actually but I am a bit skeptical. I would rather have him actually working on sitting, crawling, picking up toys, walking etc rather then stretching and massaging only. I dunno maybe Im just impatient.
Other then that we have just been hanging around, slowly getting ready for the holidays. We will be leaving the 23rd for Fresno area and returning the 26th so we are all looking forward to that! Not sure how well baby boy will do on the 12 hr long car ride but we will find out! Probably turn out to be more stressful on us then enjoyable!
