A Change Would Do You Good!

Paxton had an occupational therapy session this morning, but it was with a new person. The therapist that was supposed to be working with him on a regular basis just informed Susanne last week that she would be moving in July. She was also going to be going on vacation for two weeks sometime between now and then. Even though she had only worked with Paxton a total of three times, it was still difficult to accept change. Susanne was glad that it was happening this early on because it would just make it that much harder to make the transition the longer they worked with the original therapist.

Paxton was showing signs of improvement. He was consciously reaching for toys and being successful at grabbing them as well. He was also showing some improvement with his head control. Susanne was comforted by the fact that all of her hardwork was paying off. The new therapist gave Susanne a couple more techniques to try with Paxton during the times she was working with him. Susanne loved learning new tricks because it gave her a lot to work with. She was so proud of her little man. He was such a strong, determined guy.

When Susanne was playing with Paxton today, he actually frowned for the first time. It did not seem to be associated with anything in particular and luckily it did not progress into a cry. He looked so pitiful with that expression on his face. She definitely liked when he smiled or laughed much more.
