We had a very good therapy session on Wednesday with Khyle's PT Libby. Khyle was very alert and that made all the difference. We put him up in his new 'Wombat' chair which positions him nicely. Because Khyle's muscle tone is so poor he needs lots of help sitting up & holding his head up. All the braces, slats & belts on this chair keep him propped up perfectly & allow him to turn his head freely.
We pushed his tray up to the chair & put some toys on it for him to handle. We get good responses from the 'Switch' toys. They are recordable devices that Khyle has to press a button in order to activate the sound. On one I am singing 'Twinkle Twinkle', on another Daddy plays guitar. If Khyle wants to get the reward of hearing Mommy or Daddy, he must press the button himself. It teaches him cause & effect and we see a small glint of curiosity in him when he gets it right.
We are very proud of our brave, strong boy who works so hard at the simple things. We are astounded by his perseverance and challenged daily by his ferocious will. He is after all, 'Khyle The Warrior"!
KHYLE AT PLAY
Sorry I started taping sideways but bear with it, I get it upright halfway through. Look how excited Khyle is playing with Mommy & his toy. This one vibrates too!
