Therapy

Playing with the nurse.

Sitting with Mom holding his favorite therapy toy - stacking cups.

I am stretching Quinn's legs everyday and "exercising" them as much as possible. He is beginning to show some more tone in his leg and hip muscles and he is starting to use his trunk to attempt to sit. He still gets a majority of his balance when he sits from his arms, but it's an improvement! He is also able to tolerate some tummy time and he can spin around and use his arms to move forward a bit. We are so proud! He moved his legs a few times when he was on his tummy - all good news! We look forward to Quinn's 4 am feeding (the steroids make him a hungry hippo so we have gone back to early morning feedings) as this is when we see him close his legs and resist use moving them when we are changing his diaper. Lots of high-fives between us and the nurses then!

Hi Ronni and Family - Chad just showed me the blog and we're all caught up on Quinn's progress - it sounds like he is doing great! I have never seen a happier kid - he must never stop smiling. I want you to know that all of our friends in Portland and my family in Seattle ask about Quinn every day -- we are pulling for his speedy recovery. Thank you for posting the updates - we'll look forward to more good news!

Take care-
