Intensive PT


       Beckett completed his 2 week Intensive Physical Therapy program last month. He had PT from 8-11 M-F for 2 weeks and he did awesome! And he worked the whoooole time, no breaks, no lying down, he walked from station to station- no crawling or cheating. And he made it through the whole 2 weeks with no meltdowns! His physical therapist focused on his balance & working on standing, stretching & strengthening his muscles during his sessions. It really helped & we are hoping to get him into another short class this fall for a weekend or maybe during fall break. So thank you so much to everyone who donated &/or helped with any of our fundraisers! We feel like Beckett benefits so much from the extra therapy but since insurance refuses to cover much more than the bare minimum it's up to us to come up with the funds. We really appreciate everyone's help, support & prayers!!


Working in the cage, practicing sit to stand

Hard to see but his foot is attached to weighted pulleys & she's making him pull his leg up & down

Working on balance on the mechanical horse

Walking with the suit, there's a resistance band attached to his right ankle

Practicing stepping up
