Scotson - back from assessment

[Guest guest]

We had a hellish journey - Henry panicked every time he saw an escalator and I

am never doing that journey with him again, unless someone drives us there and

back.It took nearly 4 hours to get home.

I was rather disappointed by the assessment because, after I had made a truly

enormous effort to get him there, actually very little time was spent looking at

Henry and although a few photos were taken, no measurements were made. It was

good, however, that the depression of his sternum was noticed and also that he

was using his superficial musculature to do a lot of work rather then the core

muscles. I also thought looked extremely ill, and this shook my

confidence.

If we proceed , I shall have to go without Henry and keep the visits as short as

possible. I remain to be convinced that the learning of the exercises has to be

such a long-winded procedure, especially as I understand that they are pretty

standard for every child in the earlier stages of the therapy.
