I took Joey to an evaluation for Physcial therapy today. I was so nervous about going because we have gotten a lot of "hard" news lately as far as things looking may be worse than we thought. HOwever, I got to sing absolute praises all the way home! So exciting!
So, the therapist working with Joey was absolutely amazed at Joey's physical ability. With the possible diagnosis on Joey's charts of different things he has wrong with him, he said that Joey should be SEVERLY delayed. Joey is nearing turning three. Yep, our baby is growing up. As for his physical eval., had he not had the Diagnosis written there, they would have discharged him today on the spot. They said he is doing phenominal! Some of things he can do physcialy are more than your typical 3 year old. PRAISE GOD!!!
They are going to go ahead an put into the insurance to care for Joey though. they notated that because of the history of his health and what he's been through, he still needs a bit of help with endurance. He does still have the low tone, but not like he once had. Also, they said that his left side is considerably weaker than his right. So... they are going to continue working with him. Charting where he has been and where he is now though, they are thinking with 3-4 months, he should be great from a PT stand point!
Thank you so much for your prayers. A year ago, Joey was more than elidgble for therapy several times a week so today was just so wonderful to walk through!!!! ~Mindy
