Back to Therapy

Well today was the 1st day back to therapy. We're looking at going once a week for an extended session of Speech Therapy to start. At the end of the session today we talked about what Scott's goals are and we decided that it would be best to focus on speech therapy now and continue going to the Y doing what he has been. I guess I should explain why I have bee pushing yoga so much. Part of the progression with ST is doing deep abdominal breathing, really working to strengthen the vocal cords and diaphragm. Yoga and well Pilate's both focus 1st on breathing then on the movement, so that is the reasoning for pushing yoga lol. He now has deep breathing as homework so I'm thinking we'll have to get the yoga mats out and practice some total relaxation at home. As far as other therapies. Our speech therapist suggested not starting with them until we felt he had a specific concern to work on.

As far as today, he took the same cognitive test that he's done 4 times now and has shown huge improvement. His eyes are slowly focusing better which showed a lot when it came to the reading paperwork she had for him to do. We actually left with Scott saying that ST was good today.
