swingin' max

Click here to watch a video of me on my swing at physical therapy. :) (We promise Mommy will get better with video editing.)

That's our wonderful friend Mike in the background. He is going to build a swing and install it in our playroom...can you believe it? My very own therapy swing! We are so thrilled! This will help strengthen my core and work on my vestibular system. Thank you Mike so very much! Your family is absolutely incredible to us. This is definitely our very favorite Christmas present, besides me of course! :)

I showed off all my different positions to Mike. I think he was quite impressed!


First I sit and swing...this is easy.

(It didn't used to be though. I refused to touch the ropes and didn't have the strength to handle all the movement.)






Then we move on to "four point." This helps strengthen my upper body.

Next it's on to kneeling...I look bored, but actually I was really enjoying myself! :)

And how cool am I? I am standing and swinging! Woo hoo!
(I'm also checking myself out in the mirrow at the same time!)

Max,
Loved the pictures of you on the swing. When you get stronger you can move on to a therapy item Cameron really enjoyed - a small trampoline with a bar to hang on to. His Dupin (Grandpa) made it. Cameron still likes to play with it - likes to hang upside down on the bar and pretend he's a bat! But he's too heavy for it really.
Love,
Rebecca
