Near the End of Physical Therapy

Yesterday was Joshua's last official physical therapy session. Praise the Lord for what He has done and how He has helped Joshua overcome his obstacles due to low muscle tone! Joshua was walking 50% of the time, and even today he is walking more than that. He is making progress every day and desiring to be up on his feet more and more. He even walked through our sloped back yard for several yards before he took a fall!

In December Joshua will have a follow-up with PT to make sure he is continuing to progress normally. He will most likely always be late reaching milestones for a while because he was late walking, but he should reach them in a timely manner according to the time it took him to walk.

Joshua had a good therapy session yesterday with Mrs. Amanda. He spent a fair amount of time walking for her and playing on his feet. I took a few pics of his last day of therapy.


Bubbles have always been a favorite of Joshua's in PT. When he would get frustrated or upset they would help him to calm down and get back on track. He was also motivated to stand and take his first steps when the bubbles were out.



Joshua and Mrs. Amanda


Thanks so much, Mrs. Amanda, for your patience and guidance in helping Joshua overcome his struggles and fears due to low muscle tone. We are so thankful for you as you've worked with Joshua over the last 8 months!
