Sleepyhead



So as you can see someone is wiped out after such a busy day.  Therapy Thursday's are usually big activity days for Lucas when he has both speech and physical therapy in the same day.  It only happens every other week for him as he does speech every other week and physical therapy every week but doing two 1-hour sessions can wear the little man out.  (and not to mention we had a family swim tonight.) 

Mom and dad were happy to hear that Lucas "rocked" his sessions this week and is really taking off now that his breathing and congestion are so much better. (Thanks Dr. Beckman!) In any case since Lucas is starting to sit up more on his own we are now going to start working on the treadmill. Not too sure what that is about but photos to come once we get going.  Speech therapy is coming along nicely as we are working on oral motor skills, specifically more varied phonetic sounds and using something called a z vibe which provides stimulation through vibration.  (Look here if you are wondering what that is http://www.therapro.com/Z-Vibes-and-Accessories-C245356.aspx)  Lucas seemed to love this as he was smiling and showing off his gums whenever he could!
