Physical Therapy

Our little Eli has been such a strong b-o-y.  After a regular doctor's visit, it was recommended to us that he visit the physical therapist.  Our German doctor noticed that Eli's neck wasn't getting any better, Jonathan and I both agreed.  We have been visiting the pt, now for 2 weeks and he has had some increased mobility in his left side (hands, turn his head left...etc.)  We have been practicing like crazy with his left hand.....he doesn't like to use it at all.  This is a result of his tight neck muscles.  He also has two bones in his head that are tilted due to the stressful labor.   One bone is behind his eyes and the other is the very back bottom bone in his skull.  Eli is still young enough for the bones to be put back in place with the proper care.

Elijah absolutely loves going to physical therapy.....I think it is b/c he gets constant attention.  The only thing about his visit is that he crashes after every visit b/c it is such hard work.  Jonathan and I are both in agreement that God can heal this in order for Eli to live a normal life.
