Beckett has been working hard since his surgery & is making steady progress. And we have good news about his physical therapy camp. We have been planning to take him to Michigan/EuroPeds this summer for a 2 week course of intensive therapy but a few weeks ago we found out about a physical therapy center right here in Smyrna that does intensive PT. We were skeptical since we had heard such good things about EuroPeds but agreed to tour the Smyrna center. We liked the owner/physical therapist there & she told us that she was actually trained in Michigan at EuroPeds! She was so impressed by how well a patient of hers had done there that she decided to go & learn more, after training she started her own program at her building in Smyrna with the same principles & equipment. We thought about it and agreed that the best thing would be to go with the Smyrna therapy center for this summer & then we can always go to Michigan next summer if we decide to. This way Beckett can stay (somewhat) in his normal routine, sleep in his own bed, and not have to be away from me or Patrick any.
It is still very expensive but our fundraising is going well & at least we won't have to deal with all the travel expenses we were looking at. Our hope is that we can even exceed our fundraising goals & be able to do this therapy program every summer to give him a boost with certain skills that he may be struggling with.
We also had the Special Kids Race last month & even though it was freezing we had a great time & had several Team Beckett supporters!!
