Colin's Physical Therapy

Colin has now been doing physical therapy (PT) for about three weeks now.  These pictures and videos are from earlier in his PT. 

The first thing we worked on with Colin was getting him to take weight on his knees. When we tried to put him on his hands and knees before he would just collapse.  The way she got him to do it was to use toys to motivate.  She showed me how to do it on my own with him.  Here he is the next day after he started therapy.

The physical therapist also told me that I should try to make sure that doesn't sit with a wide base or to have him sit with one leg bent.  He did this on his own, so I was excited!

He started doing almost an army crawl to get to something he really wanted.   The item has to be pretty much straight out in front of him, though.  If it is to the side of him he will roll to it!

 

This video Philip made of Colin.  Just thought it was cute.

Since these pictures, Colin has learned how to get out of his comfort zones better during his PT.  He can also crawl on his hands and knees with assistance now.  He is making progress little by little!
