Update on Jack Post-Botox

Jack had botox about two months ago.  I just wanted to give you a quick update on Jack post-botox. He's doing GREAT stuff with his walker! His motor planning is really shining through now that some of the spasticity is relieved. He takes his walker up and down 6 inch curbs, up and down ramps and can turn in any direction he pleases.We have him long sitting as much as possible. The school has really, really stepped up and they have him in a stander every day, they have him long sitting in a floor chair with his legs straight out gently strapped for an extra stretch. His PT is pleased and Jack loves walking outside with his walker. 

He is so motivated to walk.  I can't wait to get some video to share with everyone!  I love that it's the perfect time of year to have the maximum affect of the botox in his system.  I only hate that it's temporary :(  But for now, Jack is able to rip up the sidewalks and run around till he's out of breath.  That makes it all worth it.

Video to come soon!
