While we were doing the patching and getting his feeding under control. Our wonderful pediatrician who is always looking out for us suggested we take Erik to a neurologist to do a head to toe check. You see, Erik was almost 6 months old and he wasn't holding his head up. So we did.
The neurologist noticed right away that Erik was not doing what he was suppose to do. He recommended getting Erik evaluated by a physical therapist and occupational therapist. So we did. We had already been taking Erik to speech therapy for his eating, why not?
We continued too take Erik for to speech therapy, while we waited for the authorization of the PT and OT evals. Well, once we did the physical therapy eval, we decided to hold off on the OT until he was older, since they cross over so much with treatment, we didn't want to use up the visits. We also, decided to taper down the speech therapy, since they used up the visits too. The more pressing issue was his PT.
Thank goodness we got a good therapist. He loves her and makes googoo eyes at her. She may be his first crush...
So, every Friday Erik and I are off to PT. Sean takes him on Tuesdays of our schedules have to change. I'm thankful Sean isn't afraid to do these things. I nice to know he's capable of doing anything I would do. I'm lucky!
