No more physical therapy!

Today we got the official word that Chase has graduated from physical therapy! Yippee! It has been 2 long years for the poor kid, not to mention countless 45 minute drives (one way). But, that has now all come to an end!

I think Chase is honestly a little sad that he won't be playing with Miss Jen any longer! He really liked her and never minded going to PT. We have been such a long-time patient at the clinic that we have been through 2 therapists and 3 office moves. We have seen the clinic grow from a tiny 2 room drab office, to a larger multi-room facility, and were lucky (?) enough to get to play in the brand new space they just opened days ago. The new space is very large and decorated so cute! The entire place looks like a treehouse, complete with an indoor slide area!

Chase's torticollis isn't 100% cured. But, he has definately made progress. And, I really don't think that his neck tilt is noticable to anyone who isn't specifically looking for it. We began this journey at 4 months old when he couldn't turn his head to the left. Center was a far as he could go. After a year of PT without much progress, we resorted to Botox injections, which helped immensely! Another year of PT and a helmet, and here we are. He looks great!

Thanks, Miss Jen, for all your hard work and support! We will miss you!
