graduation? what graduation?
At our physical therapy appointment last week our therapist told us that Dylan was "graduating" from therapy. This should be a call for celebration, right? Wrong.The real reason he graduated is because the prescription that our pediatrician wrote ran out and it would require some paperwork and approvals for her to continue the therapy. Additionally, she genuinely seemed convinced that Dylan was better. I really like her and am sure that she's capable ... I just disagree with her on her assessment.
We decided to go along with the graduation idea for the time being because we knew we were going back to Cranial Technologies in a few days and also are scheduled for our 6-month visit with our pediatrician next week.
In addition to graduation, the therapist told me we could cut back on the stretching at home to only once per day, then every other day and then phase the stretches out completely. This seemed a little strange to me considering his torticollis is still very much present - yes, his neck has loosened up a bit and yes, he can look to the left. However, he doesn't. He only looks left when prompted and he still tilts to the right - considerably. A stranger walking down the street can notice that.
So, we asked Rachel what she thought (Rachel is our therapist at CT who we absolutely adore!). She was surprised by the "graduation" and said we should definitely continue therapy as well as twice per day stretching at home. No surprise to me.
We're off to our pediatrician tomorrow, July 10, and will hopefully get some new advice (and prescriptions!).
