Today is the last day of EuroPeds this week. He still has one more week of therapy before we go home. I haven't gotten to witness all of his progress so far because he does better for the therapist if I wait in the waiting room.
I have been told that he has rolled independently a full 360° starting on his back. Previously he would roll off his belly when placed, but never would roll onto his belly. She has gotten him to push into sitting using his arm. Previously he would try to sit without using his arms and obviously he wasn't successful. There are other things he has made progress in, but it is hard to explain.
They have amazing equipment here. He gets to wear SPIO which is compression gear that helps him stay calm. Check out more information here. He has access to gait trainers, the universal equipment unit (the cage he is in during the jumping video below) and special adaptive bikes. It is really amazing that they have so much. It is shocking how little other therapy places in town have considering how much you (or insurance) pays for therapy.
Below are some videos!
