Therapy Update!

      So, we went to therapy yesterday at Children's Mercy and I was much happier with how things went there! He was evaluated by a physical and occupational therapist to see where he falls developmentally so we will find out more of those results next week. The OT definitely wants to see him once a week and PT either once a week or every other week. They also want to get him started with the eating and nutritional therapist, so we are supposed to keep track of all of his food intake for the next 3 days so they can chart it and see where he is with caloric intake. The PT gave us some leg wraps to use to help him with standing and wants to get him fitted for leg braces soon. She also noticed that his ankles and feet roll in which may be preventing him from standing as well, so he will have to get that corrected with arch support. So, that is where we are with therapy! I also find out that apparently Infant Toddlers changed their Model to be more family focused and so they are not as hands on as other therapists and focus more on teaching the family how to work with their own kids. That explains a lot of things and I wish I had known that from the beginning. Regardless, I prefer Children's Mercy's approach to therapy and hopefully if Insurance lets us, we will continue to use them! I am hoping not to get a huge therapy bill in the mail in a few weeks, but I get the feeling that we will, so my next step is to call Insurance and see if they are covering all of the therapy sessions. If not, we will be back at square one again...
