Jaxon's Journey
Jax's PT found this walker that she is letting us borrow while we work on getting one for him!
It will be very beneficial to get weight through his legs just by standing in the walker and even though he has some difficulty moving this one on carpet hopefully he will be able to get some steps in it as well!
Currently we are working on side stepping while standing along the couch and strengthening his glutes to improve his leg scissoring (crossing) with steps. Jax has been working tideously on getting his right and left sides of his body working together but is still working to improve the dissociation between his upper and lower body. Meaning- when he is using his upper body, he has a difficult time using his lower body at the same time. We work on his by snow angel and crossbody exercises with him nightly and when he is standing for exercises to have something for his hands to fidget with as well.
Jax was sick for about a week and was hardly standing up in his pack n play at this time but since feeling better he is pulling himself to stand in it all the time and even once on the side of the couch which is big since it is harder to get a good grip, making him have to work harder.
He is getting stronger each week and we are excited to see how he will blow us away us next!
I thank the Lord daily for how far he has come! 🙏🏻
