21 months ago we started working with our wonderful physical therapist, Lee Ann, through First Steps. Last Wednesday we finished therapy (for now -- additional therapy may be needed when Reni transitions to more sophisticated prosthesis). Reni LOVES it when Ms. Lee Ann comes because she has the most amazing toys! With those toys, she's able to guide Reni through exercises and show us practical ways to get him to work on new skills without it feeling like 'work.'
Like walking toys from one side of the room to the other...
... which requires one to stop forward motion, lean over and pick items up off the floor, rise back up again...
... and carry items using two hands...
... stop, and turn around!
Occasionally we need to take a break because it is hard work!
And given that Reni has mastered everything on his goals list, therapy came to an end! We are so grateful for special folks that God has placed in our path to help our children reach their potential! Thank you, Ms. Lee Ann! We'll miss you bunches!
