Mr. Samuel had his first ever pool experience a few weeks ago when Scott brought him to Norton Commons. The water was a little chilly but he did really well and I do believe enjoyed it! I have attached the two best pictures from that day.
Last Tuesday Mr. Samuel and I met with the First Steps ladies as well as his Physical Therapist (PT) and Occupational Therapist (OT), I'm so excited to be working with both of them! We talked about Samuel's service plan and decided on PT once a week and OT twice a month for the next 6 months. Samuel had his first PT session yesterday and it went really well! Samuel was wonderful and tolerated being moved into positions that he doesn't usually care for. The PT showed me some stretches to do with Samuel after diapers changes as well as ways to encourage tummy time, which he HATES! By the end of the session we went from 5sec on our tummy to about a minute...we are going for 5-15 minutes the more we practice. Pray for Samuel as he will be challenged weekly at PT. Pray that the Lord would allow him to be patient and a quick study and that he would improve and continue to catch on as well as develop in the areas where he is behind. I often find myself stopping and just silently thanking and praising the Lord for the miracle He continues to do in and through Mr. Samuel. He is such a joy and blessing and I can't imagine life without him. He is so talkative and expressive and melts my heart constantly with his crooked goofy little smile. :D
