Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi all. I asked about Primitative Reflex Therapy, this was last week I think. Torin has now had 3 sessions in the last 5 weeks. We would like weekly but the Chiro Naturopath comes in from another state once a month. We hope for a local woman to come back from having a baby. It is not cheap costs $100 a visit plus all the bottles of stuff. Neuro stimulating stuff, extra vitamins and amino acids, melatonin liquid to name but a few. 3 powders and 5 bottles of drops, plus his Glyco Pyrolate and reflux tablets. This sounds rediculuous doesn't it, but when it is mixed into a bit of yoghurt it is just a couple of spoonfulls. Forgot to mention he hates it. Has a funny taste. BEFORE he could army crawl slowly, with difficulty sit himself up, prefered to lie on his back and roll back and forward, we called him in this mood Mr Blobbo. He is profoundly deaf and has had a Cochlear Implant, which he takes every oppertunity to knock off. He has right side spacity mild in his leg bot worse in his hand. He can not use his hand as his thumb is tight accross his palm. He stiffens and falls when he stands and would hit his head if you did not catch him. One year of weekly OT and PT has done very little to help anything. NOW++++++ He now in the last few weeks can. Quite easily pull himself to stand and sit down again on his bottom. He can sit on his chair bend down and pick something up and sit back up(not flat on his face). He army crawly quickly all round the house. He plays throwing a ball to anyone who will play with him. He is starting to make more sound and hopefully will learn to speak. His hand is much more open and he is now pushing things into his right hand and I saw him push in and hold 2 chocholate wrappers, he was very pleased. Such small improvements for most people but wonderful for us. The Chiro is pleased and says there is more to come, Torin is about to have Botox on his hand, the Chiro says we may find it unnecessary in the future. Oh well, we are hopefull, I know it is expensive and we initally thought it was a bit doubtfull, you know Snake Oil medicine. Another boy we know who was completely floppy and unresponsive after 6 monthly treatments is now to all extents and purposes appears a normal little boy, profoundly deaf still, but phyically normal. So here hoping. I will keep you all posted about the progress he is making, there is some sall things all the time. He put his arm around my back when I was carring him and I could feel him hang on for the first time, thrill. Grandma Carol, Torin 18mth, PMG difuse worse on left, hemiplagia right side, profoundly deaf, georgous red headed little monkey Grandma's lovely boy. _____ <http://promos.hotbar.com/promos/promodll.dll?RunPromo & El= & SG= & RAND=53313 & pa rtner=spamblockerutility> Upgrade Your Email - Click here!
