IPTI - Intense Physical Therapy Institute

 July 1 - 19, 2013.

Hunter did some pretty intense physical therapy at Intensive Physical Therapy Institute.  This therapy was 4 hours a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks in a row.  He did a 15 day session (he actually only did therapy for 13 days because he was off for the 4th and the 5th for our annual Ophir trip).  We went to therapy everyday to the afternoon session from 1:00 - 5:00 pm.

Prior to starting therapy, Hunter could not stand unassisted for more than 2-3 seconds and could only take 1-2 steps before collapsing to the ground.  Goal in therapy is to improve!!

Justin and Fisher were great to go to different tenders and had fun playing with cousins.  Hunter and I went to therapy everyday.  Tyler took Hunter one Friday and I took the Justin and Fisher to the movie.

This was a good experience for Hunter and for our family.  Hunter made good progress and gained a lot of strength.  We made some really good friends while at therapy.  There are only 2 kids in therapy at a time and we were lucky enough to pair up with Reese and his mom, Carla.

I will be posting pictures of each day with a little about that day.
