Day 525 - Big Yawns & Physical Therapy

Wednesday, June 8th, 2022

You may or may not have noticed that the numbered day had recently changed. Well that's because one day we accidentally added 10 to the number. Mom had to go back through each post to figure out where it started. Only had to renumber a few months. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Today James had physical therapy where we focused on strengthening the muscles in his neck. Due to the torticollis James prefers leaning to one side over the other. One exercise we do is to have him sit on a bouncy ball and lean him side to side, allowing him to bring himself back to center. He does fine to his left but has a hard time coming back into center when leaning to his right. Another exercise is having James lay on your thighs went they are bent and by grabbing his wrists pulling him up straight. He is supposed to use his neck muscles for this as well. It's really important that when pulling him up that his wrists are turned out to activate his biceps, and so his shoulders don't dislocate.

On another note, Mom broke the glass coffee carafe today and earlier this week when broiling salmon had the glass baking dish shatter when placed on the counter. Needless to say it was only a matter of time before she would step on glass! It's supposed to be good luck, breaking glass in your home that is! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞

P.S. You can email James your love and support as often as you’d like. Mom and Dad read these email to James as they come in. We all love them! JamesWestonAbramowitz@gmail.com
