Going to see Penny...

Hello all!!!

Hope everyone had a great day. We've been very busy today with going to see Penny the physical therapist. Landon was feeling kind of crummy this morning, so he was really irritable going to "work out" with Penny. :) He got over his little crumminess as the day went on.

When we went to see Penny she had Landon work on kneeling at a bench to play with some toys. He preferred to play like that before his episode, and he seemed very happy being back in that position. He played for a little while until Penny started making him stand up and sit down....he didn't like that very much.

Penny had Landon standing in a little contraption that looked like a wheelchair. It was supposed to help him get the movement of walking without having to worry about holding his other extremities up. He was strapped into this chair that held his body up and let his feet dangle. He cried the whole time he was in it, but as he got moving his cry changed from hysterical crying to "i'm only crying because i want to remind myself that i was upset". We didn't torture him too long though...he got out and was quickly side-tracked to something else. Overall he did really well today and Penny said that he is still making small changes...which is good. We definately need to keep the changes coming. :)

I've included a couple of pictures from the past couple of days. The one on top is Landon playing in his highchair today with "Mack" from the movie Cars. He obviously loves it. When we asked him if he wanted to watch Cars today, Landon immediately looked up and stared at me as if to say, "heck yea"! It was super cute. The bottom one is of Landon with his Aunt Heather and cousin Logan. They have been here visiting with us this week.
