Day 301 - Physical Therapy Evaluation
Wednesday, October 27th, 2021
More custom dyed and designed shirts from Aunt Robin. Every day James gets more and more of a personality.
This morning James had an in-person Early Steps physical therapy evaluation. He did well. She tested him to see how we was tracking toys going across his sight line, as well as tummy time, rolling, leaning forward and putting pressure on his hands. She was also there to determine whether or not James could use more than one day of therapy. In the hospital James had therapy every day...OT, PT, Speech, Music.
Right now, we wait until she submits her paperwork to our pediatrician's office. Then Mom can follow up next week on that. If they haven't received anything she will need to contact this PT back so she can follow up with her office (which can be slow). The physical therapists with early steps are all independent contractors and they would like to start getting paid too, so they have motivation to help get things rolling. It will probably be a few more weeks until James can have regularly scheduled therapy.
Today we received our monthyl DME supplies from BayCare for feeding and GI. The order was correct, yay! Now Mom just needs to follow up with our other DME, Brownings, who handles respiratory supplies. They still haven't sent us the items we were missing from our original order 2 weeks ago. 🤦🏻♀️ It's ridiculous how much follow up needs to happen all the time with everything!
Below we are sharing a video of Dad singing to James. He had posted it on social media a few days ago, but for those who don't follow him we are sharing it here.
P.S. If you read the blog and are supporting James through his journey we would love you to participate in our video montage of everyone singing his lullaby. Please see the James Weston lullaby post for more details. ❤️P.P.S. Thank you so much for the lullaby submissions so far! It's so exciting to have all of you be a part of something so special! 😭
