I had started this post a while ago and forgot about it until I went to begin another post.
At the time that I took these photos, Kevin was struggling to walk 800 meters in the walking track. You can see in the photos the difference between his right and left foot. There has been some improvement from walking the track over the last month because now he is able to walk over a kilometer in the walking track.
We are still waiting for our Mollii control unit to be fixed and returned to us from Sweden. The last I heard was that they were fixing it and that it would be returned to us by the second week of October.
In the meantime, we have been busy trying to find other ways to help Kevin's left foot. We have been to see two different chiropractors and one Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) to do Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and Neuromuscular Manipulation Medicine (NMM) to try to help adjust his left hip from rotating inward. This week we are going to try physical therapy with ultrasound. It has been somewhat stressful with the added appointments and all that it entails with meeting new doctors that are unfamiliar with our treatment with the Family Hope Center and explaining Kevin's history. I am thankful that our health insurance deductible was met this year due to my surgery so these added appointments are covered.
So for now we continue to integrate his reflexes, belly crawl, and walk the track. Sometimes we listen to Jake and the Neverland Pirate songs and say we are "walking the plank" other times we listen to Thomas the Train songs and say we are "walking the track" and other times we just walk, walk, walk. We love it when the neighbors stop by while we are walking too!
