Wednesday Morning
This morning there are smiles all around! Little Buddy was added to the music therapy schedule today and he LOVED it!!! They came and did some sensory integration therapy with different musical instruments. They sang songs, had him track the sounds with bells (meaning they would shake some bells by his ear until he turned his head in the direction of the bells) , helped him shake some maracas, and ran another instument up and down his left arm teach his brain where his arm was and to try to get him to start using it again. Little Buddy smiled several times during the music session. That was wonderful to see! As the music therapist was leaving she told Little Buddy, "I can see that you are going to become one of my favorite patients!" He has really won over a lot of hearts around here already. But is that really any surprise? :)
