Early Intervention

There are no treatments for PVL, it's a wait and see approach to how I develop and then therapies (physical, occupational and speech) are used then used to help me compensate or work around any developmental issues. Everything Daddy has read talks about early intervention to help the brain try and reroute the neural pathway of the areas damaged from the PVL.

Daddy and Mommy are taking a proactive approach and with the help of Dinah the Social Worker from the hospital arranged to have Jan from Project Jason (in-home child development specialists for at risk infants) come visit me at home. Jan is an Infant Development Specialist from Children's Hospital Oakland and also works at the Whitney Developmental Clinic at CPMC. Jan came by Monday for my first visit and played with me. My motor skills are at the right stage for my corrected age....I should still be in Mommy's tummy, I am not due until tomorrow August 18!

Mommy also had Ronda her pilates instructor from Fit Wise Pilates come by the house today to give me my first pilates class. Working on getting my core nice and strong!



Don't you just love my workout pants with the hearts...I am feeling all the love and positive vibes everyone is sending me.




After my class I had a protein shake with Mommy and Wolfie. Exercising makes me very relaxed and at peace...I think everyone should get some exercise (hint hint Dadddy)...it helps with stress and makes me sleep like a little lying Buddha. If Daddy starts exercising again he could sleep like a lying Buddha too...it should be easy for him since he looks like sitting Buddha most of the time.
