Brothers having fun

One of the things I have always hoped since I found out that I was pregnant with my second son was that even with Noah's limitations, he would be able to have fun with his little brother. Today I came into the house from the grocery store to hear the most wonderful sound. Drew was on the computer, and Noah and Eli were facing each other in their high chairs close together. And the boys were both gut laughing -- not at something Drew had done or said, but a game they had come up with on their own. Eli was sitting a toy upright on Noah's tray and Noah was knocking it down -- then they'd both guffaw. I know that seems so simple, but very often it is the simple things that mean so much. To have them playing together and laughing together, I cannot express the joy that it gives their father and me.

Wow it is great to see and hear how well Noah is doing!

My daughter(Polly) is also doing the IAHP program and we have been since we took the What To Do course in July 2005.Polly is also making great progress.

We have actually just returned from our 6 month evaluation in Italy and have also been given the new programs for gravity free and gravity assisted,also the CO2 O2 program plus a very aggressive hip protocol as Polly's hip is also out of place and holding her back in mobility a great deal.But the staff and us are very optimistic that she will do well these next six months.

Our next appointment will be in Philly in December as Polly will be doing the AK Biofeedback program.

I think your outdoor gravity free frame is a great idea!

Glad to have found you by chance, keep up the great work cause it is well worth it!!!!!

Thanks so much for you comment! It is always nice to hear from other IAHP Parents!

I totally understand about the hip problem -- we continue to have that issue, and reflux makes it harder to treat it.

If you haven't done gravity free before this, Polly is in for a lot of fun! And you will have a lot of fun watching her -- Noah still cries every time we take him out!

Good luck in your program this period!! My email is on the front page -- feel free to email me any time!
