I was so proud watching him during his session. He did everything that was asked of him...riding forward, backward, sideways, doing push-ups while riding...he was such a trooper. His OT commented she hadn't seen anyone be so willing to try so many different things their first time out. I told her that is just who Jake is, he has a great attitude. The best part of the whole thing was on the way out the car when he said how much fun he had and couldn't wait to come back. He didn't even realize what an intense OT/PT session he had just had.
The other fun thing that Jake got to do last week was start the Percussion Group at school. Last Spring, he was in the Percussion Group that the music teacher (Mr. C) offered after school and loved it. He really wanted to do it again this year and Mr. C wanted him to participate at well. Thursday was his first 5 1/2 hour day at school, then he stayed an extra hour for percussion. I was a little concerned about his long day but Jake was beaming when I picked him up. He was so happy to be in the group again and Mr. C said that on the parts where Jake couldn't keep up, he just adapted and it worked with the the music. Jake even practiced his piece over the weekend without being reminded. :-)
All in all it was a good week and we were happy to find some ways for Jake to get therapy that were also fun.
