Last PT Session!

It is again amazing to know that we've come so far! Samuel made tremendous progress with both his occupational + physical therapy, and he has made it to the end of that road. In May, he had his last official PT appointment (and again, such a strange mix of joy/sadness because we will truly miss seeing Ms Lori, too).

 Samuel's progress has been remarkable w/ regard to restoring most of the strength in his hands + feet, his balance is exponentially improved

 Showing off how long he can stand on one foot these days :) This is a huge success at over 15-20 seconds considering he started out only being able to hold the pose for about 1-3 seconds each leg!

 Getting SO much better at kicking too!

 The laughs never really stop...

 

 As a very special treat today, Samuel was able to "exercise" on the rooftop playground area!

  So many fun things, so hard to choose where to go first!

Samuel has been wanting to play up here for a LONG time now - this was such a cool thing for him

Took a spin on/in every possible vehicle - if it had wheels, Samuel was all about it!

big kid in a little car...haha!

Along w/ the coolness of hanging out on the rooftop playground, Samuel also learned some new "moves" to practice at home, taking his exercise up to the next level in preparation for his participation in a MARTIAL ARTS THERAPY CLASS - he's thrilled about this coming up in July + you can see his determination to get the "moves" right (even if his body doesn't always respond the way it should!) haha

learning how to do jumping jacks....

"switch jumps" - working on that ankle strength....so cute :)
