Music helps

Sammy always enjoyed music.His sister Eva also has very good voice and musical pitch.
Today Sammy was part of a music class.For the first time we got out of our room.He was,so exited ! His therapist said that he responds to music very well and she likes to arrange individual music lessons that will help Sammy hear music and start making sounds .He still does not talk,but smacks his lips when hungry.
Sammy got ,so tired today after physical therapy.He was standing/with help of a special equipment/ And I will take that it's a start.Most of the time I have to live his therapy room because he is looking at me for help .
We are seeing little improvement in occupational therapy too.When I feed Sammy I try to engage him in picking up pieces of chips and put it in his mouth all by him self/he is getting better every day/.
Overall therapy's are 3 hours a day! /with some brakes of course/, so by 3:00pm his is tired.
We will return to blog on Friday most likely. Thursday we have first follow up visit to outpatient clinic in Children's Memorial -we are very exited to see our old friends again!
This week all of our children will come home/expert Sammy of course /,they all will be visiting us here in the Rehab Hospital.
Thank you everyone for your comments keep it coming.We love it! Sincerely Sammy Z &Mom.
