Yesterday was our first Physical Therapy section, i was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect, with an open mind and heart my little koala and I arrived to one more unknown experience... Our first appointment was great, i learn about a whole community of children with Hypotonia, low tone and too much tone, watched a video of a little girl who is currently 7 years old who started physical therapy at 8 weeks old, and today she is a cheerleader, very active, "normal" kid. I'm looking forward to meet with parents with hypotonic children and learn more about this "symptom" yes, it is a symptom not a illness or disease, the doctor confirmed that his legs and arms are both in great shape, and we need to work on the trunk of his body and head control. I learn a few exercises to do at home, till our next appointment next monday, so far we are only meeting once a week, after Lorenzo is three months old, we will start our two days a week section....
so what does it take? PATIENCE!!! I'm going to learn somehow to deal with the waiting game, because this is what is all about... everyday is going to be a challenge, every step Lorenzo takes is going to be a milestone, due to hard work of his part, me & the entire family... there is no plan or expectation.... so here we go dealing with the unknown...
