Miracles Can Happen: CLCGC June Session Week 1

CLCGC June Session Week 1

Week 1 of the June session is close to an end. We have finally made it to Friday of an extremely busy week. Bryce has already started tolerating the three hour a day (5 days a week) intense therapy program. I am so excited to see what progress he continues making over the next three weeks. He is going to be ending the week with a much needed massage right after class tomorrow. I would say Lucky Bryce, but if you could see all that this little guy has been through this week--- all I can say is it is much deserved!

The run-down of this week... 15 hours of therapy, roughly 7 hours of appointments, 15 (maybe more) Botox injections, a consultation for AFOs, trip to the zoo, picnic and a quick stop at the playground.

We look forward to slowing the pace down for the weekend.

Wow! Busy, I'll say! I'm so interested to hear how this intense therapy schedule works.

For some reason, blogger won't let me comment. This is Jessi from www.lifewithjack.com

Hi Jessi - we are very excited about the program. This is our second session but first time doing the 5 days a week. I am loving it! I will keep the blog updated with progress. I love Conductive Ed! It is by far the best therapy we have been involved in. Jack is absolutely adorable! Casey

From the beginning...

On January 5, 2009 we found out we were having twins!!! We were so excited and never dreamed that we would have any problems getting them here. All we could think about was how special it would be to bring two little ones into this world at one time.

It was a few weeks later that we found out there were issues with the pregnancy. It appeared that the twins had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), but after several tests it was found that there was a growth discordance in the twins. Baby A (Cohen) had more placental share that Baby B (Bryce). After finding this out I was put on full bed rest at home. We had ultrasounds every other week to check the babies growth. It was a constant worry whether the babies would make it.

At 20 weeks I would be admitted into Good Sam Hospital with pre-term labor complications. Those complications would turn into cervical length problems and from there a one night stay turned into 54 days of trying not to go absolutely insane. Each week we would have a new scare. I became very ill with blood poisoning and there was a fear that the infection got to the babies, luckily it did not. I also had daily contractions, some days more than others and began dialating. I developed gestational diabetes, only after passing the glucose test a week before.

At 28 weeks (and one day) real labor set in and I gave birth to two very small but very beautiful boys - Cohen Matthew and Bryce Anthony. This is their story...
