Out Patient Physical Therapy for Ryan

Since Ryan now goes to school, he will be starting outpatient therapy versus home care therapy. He starts Physical Therapy at the clinic on April 6th. He will be going to the clinic 2 times a wekk. Ryan's week will be extremely busy for him now. The only time he gets to rest will be on the weekend Here is what Ryan's week will look like: Monday-10am physical therapy, 11:30am Occupational therapy at home, Tuesday-8:30-12:15 school, Wednesday-11:00am Occupational therapy at home, Thursday-11am physical therapy at the clinic, Friday-8:30-12:15 school. We are on the waiting list for Occupational Therapy at the clinic. Ryan is such a busy boy I need an assistant to help keep up with our scheduling. I am glad that Tyler is young enough that we don't have alot going on with him right now. We talked to the primary person that will be in charge of Ryan's therapy and she wanted to know what our goals for Ryan were. Eric and I both agreed that we would like to see Ryan be able to get around himself, that includes walking. She told us that those were doable goals. Ryan is wearing knee mobilizers for a few minutes each day working up to a goal time. He wears these to help stretch his hamstrings so that he can sit. She will also be working with him to get trunk and head control to where he holds himself up. I will keep the blog up to date on new things that Ryan is working on and any goals that he has achieved.
