PT for Logan

On Wednesday, the 17th of March, Logan was seen by a couple Physical Therapists. Mom has been concerned about his gait. He drags his toes when he walks and is generally still unstable. The therapists found that his hamstrings are very tight, his ligaments in his right big toe pretty much non functioning, and that there is tightness in his arms with overall low muscle tone throughout his body. They recommended that we get a referral to an orthopedic (our ortho loves us, I am sure) specialist and put him in orthodics. They recommended weight bearing activities such as pushing or pulling things, marching, bouncing and sitting on a ball, or rocking horse to build the core. We have not seen thier report, so will have more when we get that. They did recommend PT for him. We will see how often. More fun!!! He was really loving the attention. He laid on the floor with his arms out and just about fell asleep as they rubbed his feet, legs, looked him over. He was pretty tired of it by the end, however, and pointed to them and waved. Time to go!!! He is so hilarious. They couldn't get over how easy he was to work on. What a doll!
