Mason: PT Evaluation

Each month, we meet with a coordinator from the child development services from our county. She monitors Mason's development and brings us material and ideas that we can try and use with Mason as he develops. We are able to bring in therapists to evaluate Mason at no cost to us whenever we feel it is needed. On Tuesday, Mason had his third evaluation. Mason is doing great right now crawling, pulling up, feeding himself, drinking with a sippy cup himself, and even standing up without holding onto anything. Unfortunately, he has figured out some of these things on his own, but they are really weird and maybe even wrong. He is beginning to form habits that could prevent him from learning to walk sooner. The physical therapist suggested this time, Mason start therapy. He needs to learn to use and bend his knees more as well as learn to shift his weight to begin taking steps. Hopefully, once we start therapy, Mason will catch on quickly.

Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers because it is another appointment added to our weekly (biweekly) routine. School is crazy and really busy this year and I know Garrett's been working a lot, so the added extra appointment in the afternoon can be tough. We will manage and do the best for both of our kids. Some weeks are crazier than others and I look back and wonder how did everything get accomplished..

Thanks for all of your support this last year with Mason. It has greatly been appreciated.
