Journal entry by Erika Brouillette —
So we decided to go with LENS therapy at Harmonized Brain Center https://www.harmonizedbraincenters.com/ thanks to our amazing friend Misty for introducing us 💛
Shelby and I drive to the center every Thursday for twelve weeks to have his sessions. He just finished his 6th week-half way and, let me tell you, I am IMPRESSED!
Little progress that Shelby has made - fist bumps, thumbs up when asked to, controlled bicycle motion with his left leg while lying on his back, lifting his right arm and hand (when we were told that whole side would have no function), even helping to pull up his pants and wash in the shower. Shelby is starting to show emotions, sadness seems to be a big one, but we’ve caught him cracking a few smiles too 💛 part of his brain that is really seems to be waking up is that recognition, you can tell that he knows what he’s looking at - especially those Patriots football games we’ve been playing for him on his tablet!
I almost forgot the best! He is blowing his own nose!! So funny, but so cool!!
We have an appointment with CU Denver on Tuesday (we will go the next four weeks) to get him a communication devise. I’ve been dreaming of this day!!
Thank you for your continued prayers!
