Journal entry by Raven Callis —
Jelly has been transferred to the Rehab Department at Children's Hospital of Atlanta. He is currently receiving Occupational (OT), Physical (PT), and Speech Therapy (SLT). The combination of therapy is vital for Jelly's recovery.
Occupational therapy is a treatment where occupation and meaningful activities are used with specific goals to help people of all ages prevent, lessen, or adapt to disabilities.
Physical therapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment, and exercise to help restore functional movements, such as standing, walking, and moving different body parts.
Speech therapy is a treatment that improves your ability to talk and use other language skills.
His care team is currently focusing on improving range of motion (ROM), strengthening lower extremities and verbal communication with tracheostomy tube in place. His smiles suggest, he's adapting well to his current treatment plan.
Jelly's parents understand that his recovery process will be long but remain hopeful that he will fully recover from all injuries caused during his accident. They would also like to thank you all for your continued prayers, love, and support.
