His legs are floppy and he doesnt weight bear on them like he used to. I owe so much to Amy, our physical therapist who comes and helps get him up. I know that if I did this with him more and more he would get stronger. In watching this today I committed to working more on standing than ever before.
Daniel had a femur fracture in April...ever since then he has had issues weight bearing and he is very weak and floppy.
Plus...he now has a 36 degree scoliosis curve. These are the things I could do more of...I could just relieve some of the other pressures around this house. No one else here ....no one...seems to realize the critical importance of getting Daniel weight bearing and moving..
He has a house full of equipment that insurance paid for...so why not push it to the limit. I only wish sometimes that John would try to learn how to put him in some of this equipment. But its my job. I don't mind really...Daniel totally connects with you when you are working and helping him.
Short little video here will show you just how weak his legs are. I'm so worried about this and about the spine.
I had alot more to say tonight... but I'm spending too much time learning how to edit video.
