Feburary 2014

Our therapy sessions at Shepherd Pathways are coming to an end. We have already had our last OT session and we will be finishing up with PT and the pool sessions soon. Between Jeanne, Brian and the snow and ice we have still been able to have two pool sessions most weeks.


Waiting to get in the pool.

The water at the Aquatic Center is like bath water, at the Shepherd Center it has what I will call, a refreshing quality. Christopher has really been enjoying the sessions with both Jeanne and Brian.



Today we were able to get Christopher to float on his back while kicking his legs.

Stretching out his left arm.

I wish I had some photos of Christopher in the snow. I took him outside to throw some snowballs, he thought that was hilarious, he laughed and laughed, especially when I let him throw some at me.



What a beautiful day.

If you compare this video with his first pool session look at the difference in the amount of support Christopher needs to walk up the ramp. Here Jeanne is walking behind him with just an arm on him at times to steady him. Notice that ever present smile.

Winter is finally coming to an end and the spring sports are underway, we have made it to several baseball games to watch Lassiter play and to the first couple lacrosse games to support Davis.

Dancing to the music at lacrosse halftime, sorry about the angles, not sure what I was doing. All I know is Christopher was having a good time. We were getting killed in the game, but the music was great.
