Just updating on Percs and Going Camping!

It has been a little over two months since we did PERCS. I am still thrilled with the results. He is still standing straighter, taking better steps, and has a better gait. He is stronger. He is working harder in therapy and he is much easier to stretch! He is looking pretty awesome I must say. He walks 4 minutes on the treadmill at therapy and is still riding his bike at home.

At home I try and do stretches multiple times per week along with some exercises. He also rides his bike and walks around the house. He is doing well and I am thrilled. I sometimes wonder if we should have gone through with SDR only because he is doing so well after PERCS. I was told by one Dr. in MA that he uses his tone to do everything and that SDR would take away his tone leaving him very weak but I see that after PERCS his tone has been taken away yet he is stronger. I am not sure if I was ready for SDR or ever would be but I want the best for my son and now I am pondering it. I guess that will be another year because I said NO SURGERY FOR TWO YEARS! See my brain never stops and this is what happens, the poor child! :)

We are off and camping this weekend. We bought a pop up camper this weekend to help ease the trip with Brendan. I hope it will help in some ways. I am looking forward to a comfortable night sleep that is for sure! The kids really enjoy camping and we do too. It is great family time. It is also an inexpensive way to vacation. I just hope it doesn't rain all weekend! We had one of those last year and it wasn't very fun. I am prepared with coloring books, cards, and legos in case it does.
