Assessment

Robbie's assessment went very well. While 2 ladies "played" with Robbie to assess his skills, Chet and I were asked a bunch of questions about other things that they needed to know or couldn't find out in clinic. He was able to do just about everything they tried to get him to do with the exception of crawl position or standing of course.

He qualified for the program. They are now in the process of finding a physical therapist that will come to our home. Since we live in St Cloud that will be difficult and we most likely will have to take him to a clinic. Please pray that they will find someone to come in home. They say that it is far better that way because they can teach us exercises and such that can be used with his own toys.

All this hinges on how his orthopedic appointment goes next week. If the ortho says Robbie needs therapy and releases him to the program then it's a go. If he needs surgery then therapy, we will have to wait until he is released for that. If the ortho says no to the therapy then we simply let them know and they close his file.

All other areas of testing turned out great so they have no other concerns. Praise God!

Dr Follow up

Robbie's follow-up with his PC was today. He has gained some weight, so that is doing good. We are now supposed to take him to a pediatric orthopedic for his legs. The Dr said he is on the slow side in general and will start doing more stuff when he is ready.

His home study for the development team is Monday. Please keep that in prayer, that the lady will make a wise decision.

Robbie's Surgery Follow-Up

Today we had the follow up of Robbie's surgery. The Dr removed the bandaging and catheter. He said everything looked great and Robbie can go back to normal life! So far there doesn't appear to be any fistulas, we are to keep an eye out for it. Please pray there are none! Robbie has to go back in one month for a final follow up.

Next: the ultrasound on Robbie's hip....
