CDRC Progress

We had our other visit with the CDRC through their outreach program where they come down to Medford from Eugene. I had been trying to get this set up since forever so I was VERY excited to have got Hubercito an appoinment. Apparently I later found out they are pretty well booked through the year coming about once a month. We will be put on a call list and called if someone else cannot make their scheduled appointment for later appointments.
So we start the day off with a long 2 and a half hour drive with one cranky lil man. He is getting his first teeth in, 2 at once, so he has not been his happy lil self lately. So I really didnt think we would get too much out of him during the therapy session.
Amazingly once we got there he let the physical therapy lady do just about whatever she wanted with him lol. Different stretches, playing, checking out some new toys etc...
We have physical therapy come to our home once a week where they stretch him. But with the CDRC she would for example, lay him down and move his leg to where it needed to be to get ready to roll over, then move his arms into position, then roll over etc etc. Basically showing him how to get to his stomach of he wanted or needed. We worked on rolling over, sitting up and being on his tummy.
Along with him doing so great with all that we got set up for them to send us a lil bumbo chair and a different sort of boppy pillow to continue teaching him tummy time and sitting up. We also got an application for Shriners Childrens Hospital in Portland. They will focus on his legs and joints. X-raying his hips and legs and eventually fitting him for leg braces which he will need to keep his legs in proper position for standing and eventually walking! Shriners unfortunatly has a very long waiting list with a minimum wait of 6 months just to process the application to be put on the waiting list so we just did it early to have it ready.
I once again feel as if I got so much more accomplished with an out of town team then the services we recieve here in isolated Brookings. I am grateful to have got it set up and going though.
