Therapy

We had our twice monthly therapy with our ECI-Keep Pace therapist. For those of you not in Texas, it's the state program that provides assistance for children ages birth to 3 who are developmentally delayed in some way or another. Justin automatically qualifies based on the Down diagnosis. They provide family-based support and physical, speech, occupational, and cognitive therapy. They have tons of programs, including one for Travis when he gets older as the sibling of a disabled child. And they come to my house! Anyway, we have Lucy, and she is great. She makes me feel so wonderful every time she comes. She is very impressed with his progress. He can track objects from side to side and he is lifting his head a lot. He kept it up for almost a minute today! She is also working on his speech therapy, which at this age is mouth and tongue movements. She works with the binky and tries to get him to suck it in different ways. She gives us lots of things to practice, but they really are play-type things. His endurance was better today, but I think it was because he woke up from a 3 hour nap right before she arrived!
