PT boot camp

Wyatt started PT boot camp this week for the next two weeks.  He is going through intense physical therapy at Kennendy Kreiger (KKI).  Even though we do have infants and toddlers come to the house, we are trying everything possible to give him every opportunity to stand and walk.  Below is some progress made so far.  No longer does Wyatt need to rest his butt on the couch and hold the coffee table, but now he can stand the other way.  We have a long road ahead of us and today reassured me that CDH is not a one time fix, but we are almost three years into it and it's still a focus of our daily lives.  I listened to Wyatt cry and look at me for an hour today during therapy because he was scared.  I would never wish that on any mother and it makes me wonder if we are doing the right thing.  But we are giving it a try for the next two weeks.  Wyatt tries everything that the therapist asks him to do and even says thank you with tears in his eyes.  He continues to be a fighter.  Let's pray he starts wanting to stand and walk, because he is getting heavy:))
