THERAPY PHOTOS

LOOK AT ME MOMMY, LOOK AT ME!!! :)
This photo is from last week (before he started feeling crummy) during one of Max's very best occupational therapy sessions!!! It was so exciting! He actually lifted his head for us without fussing about it. That's Eileen (his OT) applying pressure to his backside. A little trick of the trade in helping him develop upper body strength!

HEY LADY, JUST GIVE ME THE SPOON!

We haven't been making too much progress in the feeding department, but we keep trying slowly but surely. Unfortunately he has been having so much respiratory difficulty that we don't want to push too much with the feeding and risk further aspiration. So for right now we are focusing only on his tongue issues. Our goal is for him to close his mouth around the spoon and keep his tongue in there too. He tends to want to stick his tongue out, which certainly doesn't help with swallowing. But he just wants to play with the spoon! :)

Hi Max,

You look good in these photos. Isn't Eileen awesome! I love my playtimes with her.

Have fun at Children's tomorrow. We'll be praying for good news and that you are feeling better soon from this current "bug".

Miss ya.
