December 12 was the end of the last of Caden's therapies: physical therapy. Caden started receiving PT when he was just about 6 months old at Bright Start Therapies with Miss Julia. Right after Caden turned two years old, Julia left Bright Start and we needed to find a new therapist. It was really tough for us because we really loved Julia and she had helped Caden progress so much. The fear of the unknown is what made me nervous. But, we got Erik at Easter Seals and he did a fantastic job with Caden!
For almost a year, Erik was Caden's PT and he helped him improve significantly during that time! We saw Erik twice/week because we had him once for regular PT in the clinic and then once for warm water therapy in the pool. I'll get into that in the next post though.
Caden handled the transition between therapists very well, and he did so well that he officially graduated out of the program! He would have aged out of the program on his third birthday, but since we moved a few weeks before that, he graduated at that time. Thankfully he is now “age-appropriate” in this area as well. This is so hard to believe since he only started walking about three weeks before he turned two years old! It's amazing how much changes in only one year!
Check out the video below. I tried to show you a variety of the things Caden worked on during his PT sessions. :)
